What you will see

Shamakhi Juma Mosque
Shamakhi Juma Mosque

Built in 743 during the reign of Caliph Khalid ibn al-Walid, this mosque is the oldest in the Caucasus and the second-oldest in the South Caucasus and Middle East after the Juma Mosque in Derbent. Shamakhi served as the capital of the Shirvanshah state until the 12th century, and powerful earthquakes (especially in 1859 and 1902) repeatedly devastated the city, with the mosque rebuilt each time. It was burned down by Armenian armed groups in 1918, and remained closed to worship during the Soviet era — only being repaired in 1980. The prayer hall is divided into three separate sections, each with its own mihrab, a rare feature in mosque architecture. The minaret and domes are the result of 19th–20th century reconstructions.
