Diri Baba Mausoleum is a holy site located in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan. It is the final resting place of Sheikh Diri Baba, a revered Sufi saint who lived in the 15th century. The mausoleum was built in the 16th century and has since become a popular pilgrimage site for Muslims. The structure features traditional Azerbaijani architecture, with a conical dome and a stone facade. Visitors to the mausoleum can also enjoy the serene surroundings of the surrounding forest and nearby natural springs.

Shamakhi’s greatest landmark is Juma Mosque, one of Azerbaijan’s largest and most lavish places of worship. While the current structure was reconstructed in 2013, the earliest version was built way back in 743AD, making this the second oldest mosque in the Caucasus and the oldest in Azerbaijan. Since then it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, most notably during the devastating earthquake that reduced Shamakhi to rubble in 1859 and later by inter-ethnic clashes in 1918. Besides discovering its historical and religious significance, you can enjoy simply basking in the site’s elegance and tranquility
