Gazakhlar Mosque
Gazakhlar Mosque (Azerbaijani: Qazaxlar məscidi) is a historical and architectural monument of the 19th century, located in the city of Ganja (Azerbaijan) .
History
The mosque was built in 1801-1802 by the tribes that arrived in Ganja from the Gazakh region. The Gazakhlar Mosque was built based on the plan of the Juma Mosque. It is not known who exactly is the architect of the mosque.[1]
After the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan in 1920, the struggle of the Bolsheviks against religion began. Like many other religious institutions, the Gazakhlar Mosque ceased to function and was used as a warehouse, school and for other purposes.[citation needed]
According to the decision No. 132 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan adopted on August 2, 2001, the Gazakhlar mosque was included in the List of Immovable Monuments of History and Culture of Local Importance.[2]
In 2014, a fire broke out in the mosque, as a result of which part of the roof burned down. In 2018, restoration work was carried out at the mosque.[3] Currently, this historical and architectural monument is used as a mosque.[4]
