Shah Abbas Mosque, 17th-century mosque in Ganja, Azerbaijan
The Shah Abbas Mosque features two traditional red brick minarets and incorporates architectural elements characteristic of the Aran school of construction.
Shah Abbas I of the Safavid dynasty commissioned the construction of this religious building in 1606, during his extensive reign from 1587 to 1629.
The mosque contains two stone inscriptions at its entrance gate, with texts written in Arabic and Persian languages, preserving historical documentation.
