The Guyulug Mosque (Azerbaijani: Quyuluq məscidi) is a Shia Islam mosque located in Shusha, Azerbaijan.[1][2] The mosque is located on Ojaggulu street of Guyulug neighborhood of Shusha.[3][4]
Architecture
[edit]The Guyulug Mosque was one of the seventeen mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.[5][6][7] As of 2007[update], the exact state of the mosque was unknown.[8]
According to the architectural composition of the main façade, the Guyulug Mosque belonged to the type of Shusha quarter mosques with an eyvan with wide arches of various shapes, which constituted an organic whole with a prayer hall. According to the architectural and constructive solution of the internal space, the mosque belonged to the type of Shusha quarter mosques with a single volume and a flat wooden ceiling. In the mosque, as in other district mosques of the city, in the depths of the prayer hall, opposite the mihrab, on the second tier, a small open gallery was provided, framed by three lancet arches. This gallery was intended for women.[9]
