Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Baku as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Filming locations inside Baku

3 places inside Baku, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Baku too.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Baku, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
