Nizami Mausoleum, Cultural monument in Ganja, Azerbaijan.
The cylindrical red granite mausoleum rises 20 meters high, featuring semicircular forms and golden letters displaying the name Nizami above its entrance.
The mausoleum, constructed in 1947, houses the remains of Nizami Ganjavi, a Persian poet who lived from 1141 to 1209 in Ganja.
The structure honors Nizami Ganjavi's literary contributions, including masterful works like Khosrow and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, and The Seven Beauties.
Visitors can explore both the mausoleum and the adjacent museum, which displays rare manuscripts and miniatures of Nizami's works from European libraries.
The lower section of the monument contains the poet's crypt, while the surrounding square features sculptures representing characters from Nizami's literary works.
