Bibi Heybat Mosque, Religious shrine in Baku, Azerbaijan
The Bibi Heybat Mosque features three domes and two minarets decorated with green, teal, and gold tiles along the Caspian Sea coast.
The original structure from the 13th century, built by Shirvanshah Farrukhzad II Ibn Ahsitan II, was destroyed in 1934 during Soviet anti-religious campaigns.
The mosque contains the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad, making it a central spiritual location for Muslims in Azerbaijan.
The reconstructed mosque includes separate prayer areas for men and women, with dedicated spaces to accommodate hundreds of worshippers simultaneously.
Historical photographs and documents were instrumental in recreating the exact architectural details during the 1990s reconstruction of this religious monument.
