History
The first station building dates back to 1880, with the launch of the Baku-Tbilisi railway. The architecture of the first building was in the Moorish Revival style.[2] In 1926, the second station complex, Sabunchu Station, was designed and constructed to serve the electrified Baku–Sabunchu railway. The architecture of the second building is also in the Moorish Revival style.[3] In 1967, the 28 May metro station was built and connected to the Sabunchu Station by a pedestrian tunnel.[4] In 1977, the station underwent a major renovation, during which a modern station building was built, adjacent to the old Sabunchu Station.[3] In 2017, the station underwent a renovation again.[5]
