Mausoleum of Sheikh Juneyd, Mausoleum in Hazra village, Qusar District, Azerbaijan

The Mausoleum of Sheikh Juneyd is a square building with sides of 7.23 metres, its four walls pierced by doorways set in large niche-portals 4.67 metres wide and 2.9 metres deep on the west, east and south. Small corner rooms serve as auxiliary spaces, and a doorway in the south-eastern cell leads up to the dome's foundation level. Inside, the lower walls are faced with blue and dark-violet glazed tiles in a chequered pattern, while a band of stalactites about 4 metres high carries the square room into the dome.

Sheikh Juneyd, grandfather of Shah Ismail I, died in 1456 in battle against the forces of Shirvanshah Khalilullah I and was buried at Hazra. The mausoleum over his grave was built much later, in 1544–1545 (AH 951), under Shah Tahmasp I, as stated in an inscription on the western door. The inscription names the patron as Agha Muhammad, son of Khwaja Ziya al-Din Nizam al-Mulk, a vizier of Tahmasp. The sheikh's remains were reportedly moved to Ardabil in the 16th century.

The lower 1.42 metres of the inner walls are faced with square glazed tiles in blue and dark violet, set in a staggered, chessboard-like order. Their glaze is poor quality, cracked and porous. Above the tiles, a stalactite band about 4 metres high carries the eye up to the dome.

The mausoleum stands in Hazra village, near Azerbaijan's border with Dagestan. It can be reached by taxi or private car from Qusar Rayon, a journey of about 30 minutes. Three of the four walls have large niche-portals, about 4.67 meters wide and 2.9 meters deep, so you can enter from the west, east or south. A small room in the south-eastern corner has a door at dome-foundation level.

The northern annex is a later addition: its walls merely abut the mausoleum instead of continuing them, and the inscription on its facade was moved there from the original building. A doorway in the south-eastern corner cell, at the level of the dome's foundation, gives access to the cupola.
