Taza Pir Mosque, Religious monument in Yasamal district, Baku, Azerbaijan
Taza Pir Mosque is a white stone religious structure with a square-shaped prayer hall topped by domes in central Baku. Twin minarets flank the building on both sides, framing its architectural profile.
Construction began in 1905 under the patronage of Nabat Khanum Ashurbeyova and was completed in 1914, reflecting the building methods of that period. The structure was built on a site of earlier religious significance, deepening its importance to the community.
The interior walls display traditional Azerbaijani paintings and Quranic script that show how local artisans approached religious decoration. These details reveal the artistic traditions that matter to people in this neighborhood and how they continue to be valued.
The building is open during daily prayer times and accommodates up to 720 worshippers on its prayer carpet. Visitors should dress respectfully and remove their shoes before entering the prayer hall.
The site sits on top of a 14th-century sanctuary where the tomb of Islamic scholar Abu Seyid Abdulla once stood. This continuity connects the modern mosque to an earlier spiritual history of the location.
