Diri Baba Mausoleum, Sufi mausoleum in Gobustan, Azerbaijan.

The Diri Baba Mausoleum consists of two floors carved into a cliff face, featuring a prayer hall and an upper chamber with geometric decorations.

Built in 1402 during the Shirvanshahs period, the mausoleum was constructed by the son of master Haji as indicated by inscriptions on its walls.

The structure functions as a religious monument where local residents gather to honor the memory of Sheikh Diri Baba through traditional ceremonies.

Located 80 kilometers west of Baku, visitors can access both floors of the mausoleum through stairs carved directly into the rock formation.

The architectural design integrates the structure into the natural cliff, creating an optical effect where the building appears to float in the air.
