Palatial mosque in Baku, Religious structure in Old City, Azerbaijan
The mosque contains a rectangular hall with a two-tier windowed prayer room, topped by a cupola featuring spherical sails and positioned mihrab.
Built between 1441 and 1442, this religious edifice stands as an integral component within the Palace of the Shirvanshahs complex in Baku.
The northern portal facing the burial vault displays more ceremonial architectural elements than the eastern entrance, reflecting social hierarchies of medieval Azerbaijan.
The mosque includes separate prayer spaces for women, multiple service rooms, and maintains specific entrances for different groups of worshippers.
The minaret features precise stalactite decorations on its sherefe and bears an inscription dating back to 845 in the Islamic calendar.
