The Fatima Zahra Mosque stands with its three domes and twin minarets, displaying limestone construction and traditional Azerbaijani architectural elements throughout the structure.

The mosque originated in the 13th century under Mahmud ibn Sa'd's direction, underwent renovation in 1911, faced destruction in 1934, and received complete reconstruction in 1999.

The mosque maintains separate prayer areas for men and women, incorporating marble interiors with calligraphic inscriptions that reflect Islamic artistic traditions.

Located near central Baku, the religious complex functions as a gathering space for daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and community events throughout the year.

The mosque walls feature specific Quranic inscriptions and ornamental plasterwork created by local artisans using traditional Shirvan architectural techniques.
