Lezgin Mosque

Ashura Mosque, also known as the Lezgin Mosque, is one of the oldest Muslim temples in Baku, dating back to the 12th century. Located on Asaf Zeynally Street, it was founded in 1169 and has since been an important cultural and religious center of the city. In 1970, the mosque underwent major restoration work, during which two ancient semicircular arches dating back to the Sasanian period in Albania were discovered. These arches, located in the southern part of the mosque, are a unique archaeological find, testifying to the rich history of this sacred place.
