Monument to Nizami Ganjavi in Ganja, Bronze monument in Ganja, Azerbaijan.
The cylindrical monument features intricate engravings and stands at the entrance of Ganja, with golden letters displaying the poet's name above.
Architects Sadig Dadashov and Mikayil Useynov collaborated with sculptor Fuad Abdurahmanov to create this monument, which was inaugurated in 1946.
The monument commemorates Nizami Ganjavi, a Persian poet from the 12th century who wrote influential works including Khamme, a collection of five poems.
