NOTE: Supposedly, the crescent-shaped building is not occupied. The initial build was apparently structurally unsound, and they have been working to retrofit a solution.

This is the replica of a mosque that dates back to the 13th century. The original was built at the behest of Shirvanshah Farrukhzad II Ibn Ahsitan II, and was destroyed by the Bolsheviks when the Soviets took over in the 1930’s. The existing version was built in the 1990’s after the demise of the USSR.
