Shirvanshah's Palace Mausoleum, Royal mausoleum in Old City, Azerbaijan.

The octagonal stone mausoleum features a cruciform hall topped with a dome and contains six underground tombs of the Shirvanshah dynasty members.

Khalilullah I commissioned the construction of this burial site between 1435 and 1436 as part of the Palace of the Shirvanshahs complex.

Religious inscriptions and medallions decorate the entrance portal, while verses by poet Badr Shirvani document the names of those interred within.

The mausoleum opens daily for visitors as part of the Palace of the Shirvanshahs museum complex in the UNESCO-listed Old City of Baku.

Archaeological excavations in 1947 revealed valuable artifacts including a gold earring and comb belonging to Khalilullah I in the underground chambers.
