Mammadbayli Mausoleum, Medieval mausoleum in Məmmədbəyli village, Azerbaijan.

The octagonal structure features walls covered with sharpened stones, topped by a pyramid-shaped roof measuring 2.95 by 3.30 meters at its base.

Built in 1305 by architect Ali Majid ad-Din along the Silk Road, the mausoleum contains a sepulcher discovered during excavations in 1975.

The entrance bears Arabic inscriptions from the Quran and identifies Yahya ibn Muhammad al-Haj as the owner of this religious monument.

The entrance door measures 76 centimeters wide and 88 centimeters high, following Islamic guidelines that require visitors to bow when entering.

The mausoleum combines both spherical interior arches and pyramidal external arches, representing architectural elements common in Azerbaijan.
