Khidir Mosque, Islamic mosque in Old City of Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Khidir Mosque exhibits stone-carved elements and proportional architectural divisions throughout its prayer hall and exterior structure against the backdrop of narrow streets.
Built in 1301 on the location of a former Zoroastrian temple, the Khidir Mosque represents the architectural principles of the Shirvan-Absheron school in medieval Azerbaijan.
The mosque carries the name of Khidr, an important figure in Islamic tradition, and continues to function as a central religious site for local Muslims.
Visitors must wear appropriate clothing when entering the mosque, which stands on Muslim Magomayev Street in the Old City district of Baku.
The mosque's construction on a street-stair formation has influenced its architectural layout, with straight-profile windows on the southern facade providing natural illumination.
