Lezgi Mosque, Medieval mosque in Old City, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Lezgi Mosque features a parallelepiped structure with a small arched entrance and two windows on its southern wall leading to a prayer room.
Founded in 1169 by Najaf Ashur Ibrahim oglu, the mosque stands on ancient foundations that include two semicircular arches discovered during restoration work in 1970.
The mosque received its current name in the 19th century when Lezgin workers from northeastern Azerbaijan used this building for their religious ceremonies.
Located at 40.365761 latitude and 49.836311 longitude on Asaf Zeynalli Street, the mosque interior remains closed to general visitors.
Archaeological excavations beneath the southern section of the mosque revealed remnants of what researchers identify as an earlier pagan temple structure.
