Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum

Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Babi village, Fuzuli District, Azerbaijan.

Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum is an octagonal limestone structure in Babi village, with edges three meters wide, covered by an octahedral spherical cupola of thin stone slabs. Only the mausoleum and a damaged minaret remain of the larger khanegah complex, whose thick mosque walls and cells survive in part.

The building was constructed in 1272 as the burial place of Sheykh Babi Yagub ibn Ismail Gur-Har, confirmed by Arabic Kufi inscriptions on the walls. The structure reflects the medieval architectural style of the region during that era.

The structure displays traditional Azerbaijani building methods with geometric patterns typical of medieval Islamic architecture. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship in the stonework and decorative details throughout the building.

The mausoleum stands in a cemetery near Babi village, in Fuzuli District; the site is reached by road from the district centre. Only the octagonal tomb and a damaged minaret remain of the khanegah complex, and the monument was seriously damaged on 29 September 2020, so parts of the grounds may be unsafe or closed. Excavations begun in 2011 uncovered the khanegah ruins, six stone graves and a bathhouse nearby.

In 2011, excavations led by Khagani Almammadov found six stone graves near the mausoleum, probably of warriors; one held a headless skeleton, another a skeleton with arrowheads. The same dig exposed the ruins of Sheykh Babi's khanegah, first used as a caravanserai and later as a mosque.
