Gileyli Mosque, Medieval mosque in Old City, Baku, Azerbaijan
The Gileyli Mosque displays a cruciform-dome layout with deep domes framing its arms and small rooms positioned at each corner of the structure.
Constructed in 1309 during the Shirvanshahs period, the mosque received additional extensions in the second half of the nineteenth century to accommodate more worshippers.
The interior worshipping hall contains a proportionally accurate Mihrab decorated with architectural elements reflecting Islamic design principles of the medieval period.
The mosque opens its doors to visitors and remains an active religious site, located on Mirza Mansur street in the historical center of Baku.
The nineteenth-century extension incorporates European compositional elements in its facade while maintaining harmony with the original medieval Islamic architecture.
