Beglar Mosque, Religious monument in Old City, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Beglar Mosque features a 25-meter minaret and incorporates architectural elements from European, Eastern, and local building traditions in its design.
The mosque, constructed in 1895 by sons of Muhammad Hashim Al-Bakui and millionaire Murtuza Mukhtarov, underwent conversion to a sports hall during Soviet times.
The Museum of Sacred Relics inside the mosque exhibits 99 religious artifacts, including ancient Qurans that survived historical fires in Azerbaijan.
The mosque maintains dual functionality as both an active place of worship and a museum, with a surrounding park offering space for visitors.
Austrian restoration expert Erix Pummer led comprehensive structural improvements to the mosque between 2014 and 2015, preserving its architectural heritage.
