Imam Hussein Mosque, Islamic religious site in Yasamal district, Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Imam Hussein Mosque features a three-nave prayer hall, traditional vestibule entrance, and a minaret that represents regional architectural elements of Baku-Absheron.
Built in 1896 by architect Adolf Eichler, the mosque experienced closure during Soviet times, serving as a warehouse until its religious functions resumed in 1988.
The mosque incorporates design elements from the Cordoba mosque, displaying intricate calligraphy and detailed patterns that reflect Islamic artistic traditions.
The prayer facility includes a new ceremonial hall that accommodates 130 people, providing space for religious gatherings and community events.
The building gained status as a local historical monument in 2001 through official recognition by the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan.
