Jinn Mosque, 14th-century mosque in Old City of Baku, Azerbaijan
The Jinn Mosque is a 14th-century mosque in Old City of Baku with a rectangular layout and a pointed stone dome. The interior consists of a single-cell prayer hall designed in the traditional Islamic manner.
The mosque was built in 1375 near the Eastern Gate and served as a place of prayer for the surrounding community. It received recognition as a national architectural monument in 2001.
The name refers to a chapter of the Quran and shows how Islamic spiritual beliefs shaped the design of the building. Visitors can sense this religious meaning in every carefully crafted detail of the interior.
The mosque is located in the Old City of Baku and follows regular prayer times tied to the Islamic calendar. Visitors should dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering the prayer hall.
The interior features a five-tiered mihrab with muqarnas carving on the southern wall, a masterwork of Islamic stonemasonry. This elaborately decorated niche demonstrates the exceptional technical skill of medieval local artisans.
