What To Expect

Juma Mosque

The small-diameter dome of the mosque is complemented by a square-shaped prayer hall supported by four columns in the central part. The architecture of the building uses Eastern and European classical motifs. The main principles of Azerbaijani architecture are reflected in the entrance portal: stone carvings, a wide palette of patterns, artistic epigraphy, etc. The quality of construction and pattern work, mainly on stone, is excellent.
