Beautiful mosque and the only one in the city.
The first mosque built in this site was by the Ottomans in 1723-1735, then it was destroyed by the Persians in the 1740s. In 1846-1851, the building was rebuilt by architect Giovanni Scudieri.
By the end of the 19th century, in 1895, Baku-based millionaire and philanthropist Haji Zinelabdin Tagiyev had completely renovated the mosque, significantly altering its eastern part.
The mosque’s architecture combines both Islamic and neo-Gothic elements beautifully in red-brick structure with a beautiful minaret seen from afar. There’s a beautiful Persian-style mosaic facade next to the thermal bathes.
