Fatima-Zahra Mosque, Modern mosque in Yeni Guneshli district, Baku, Azerbaijan
The Fatima-Zahra Mosque is a modern place of worship in the Yeni Guneshli neighborhood with geometric patterns covering its outer walls. The building uses carefully placed windows to bring natural light inside and features separate prayer areas for men and women, along with facilities for ritual washing.
The mosque was designed by architect Adalet Mammadov and built in the early 1990s when Azerbaijan gained independence from the Soviet Union. It represents a period when the country began to shape its own architectural identity.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community to pray and connect with others who share their faith. The interior design reflects the purpose of worship and creates a welcoming environment for visitors of all backgrounds.
The mosque is easily accessible by public transportation and has facilities for ritual washing on the grounds. Visitors should check prayer times and wear appropriate clothing if planning to enter the building.
The exterior combines local stone with contemporary building techniques to create geometric patterns that look different depending on where you stand. This visual effect makes the building interesting to view from different angles around the neighborhood.
