Ajdarbey Mosque, Religious building in central Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Ajdarbey Mosque features a large domed prayer room with stone carvings on its walls and a tall minaret rising from the structure.

The construction of Ajdarbey Mosque, sponsored by Haji Ajdar bey Ashurbeyov, began in March 1912 and concluded in December 1913 under architect Zivar bay Ahmadbayov.

The mosque incorporates elements of the Shirvan-Absheron architectural school, reflecting regional building traditions through its design and ornamentation.

The mosque maintains regular prayer times and stands at an angle of 45 degrees to Samed Vurgun Street, formerly known as Krasnovodskaya Street.

Stone carver Salman Atayev created intricate decorations throughout the mosque, similar to his other works across Baku during the 1910s.
