Saatli Mosque, Mosque in Shusha District, Azerbaijan.
Saatli Mosque is a religious building in Shusha with two minarets and a three-part prayer hall featuring decorative patterns on its brick and stone surfaces. The structure demonstrates the craftsmanship typical of late 19th-century construction methods.
Completed in 1883 by architect Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi, the building stands in the upper Saatli neighborhood of Shusha. It emerged during a significant period of architectural development in the region.
The mosque represents the Arran Architectural School, blending design features visible in other religious buildings of the region. Visitors can observe the architectural language that defined this period in Shusha.
Following restoration completed in 2023, the building is open to visitors and displays repairs made to address damage from earlier decades. Visitors can focus on observing the architectural details and interior craftsmanship to appreciate the construction quality.
One of the two original minarets was completely destroyed during occupation, making the remaining structure a visible testament to loss and recovery. This asymmetrical condition tells part of the building's story to visitors.
