Haji Javad mosque

Haji Javad Mosque is a modern prayer house with a footprint of about 1,200 square meters (13,000 sq ft), a central dome reaching 18 meters (59 ft) high, and a minaret at 33.7 meters (111 ft). The two-story building holds around 500 worshippers with separate sections for men and women, plus classrooms and parking areas.

An original prayer house from 1305 in the Islamic calendar once stood on the site but was converted to a kindergarten during Soviet rule. The current building was reconstructed in 2018 at a new location following community demands and government action.

The walls display traditional Azerbaijani calligraphy and ornamental patterns that connect the prayer house to local artistic heritage. These decorations blend religious function with regional artistic expression that visitors can see throughout the interior.

The prayer space has separate floors for men and women and provides parking for visitors. It's helpful to visit outside of prayer times when the facility is less crowded.

The mosque was relocated and expanded in response to community protests in 2017, marking a shift in how local voices shaped the religious center. The reconstruction demonstrates how public demand influenced the creation of this larger, more accessible facility.
