Mausoleum of Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, Medieval mausoleum in Icherisheher district, Baku, Azerbaijan.

The octagonal stone mausoleum features a conic cupola and contains both an overground ceremonial space and an underground burial vault with decorative windows.

Built in 1457, the mausoleum stands in the middle courtyard of the Palace of Shirvanshahs as the final resting place of philosopher Seyid Yahya Bakuvi.

The structure exemplifies northern Azerbaijani memorial architecture, with its walls incorporating wool fabric reinforcement and colored plaster decorative elements.

The mausoleum remains accessible to visitors exploring the Palace of Shirvanshahs complex, with three stone lattice windows illuminating the interior chambers.

The building's construction includes an uncommon architectural style for Baku, featuring geometric patterns within the cupola and specialized plastering techniques.
