Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Babi village, Fuzuli District, Azerbaijan.
The octagonal limestone structure features a spherical cupola covered with thin stone plates and includes a cylindrical minaret made of burnt bricks.
Built in 1272, the mausoleum serves as the final resting place for Sheykh Babi Yagub ibn Ismail Gur-Har, as confirmed by Arabic Kufi inscriptions.
The mausoleum stands as a testament to medieval Islamic architecture, incorporating geometric patterns and traditional Azerbaijani construction techniques in its design.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed six stone graves containing warrior remains, along with artifacts such as arrowheads from the medieval period.
The structure contains an underground crypt system illuminated by wall openings, with local stories suggesting a tunnel connection to the nearby Akhmedallar Mausoleum.
