About

The mosque is located approximately 350 km from the capital Baku. The mosque is located at the intersection of Telman and Garyagdioglu streets in Shusha city. The mosque is built on two floors. Seyidli mosque is believed to have been built in the 18th century. According to a satellite investigation done by the Caucasus Heritage Watch of Cornell University, during the 30 years of de-facto Armenian control under the Republic of Artsakh, the mosque remained unchanged from the Soviet period and well-preserved.[5]

The mosque is located in Seyidli neighborhood on Cıdır road. This small neighborhood mosque is almost indistinguishable from other mosques in its current state and resembles local residential properties. The prayer hall of the mosque, which has a rectangular shape, does not have a three-bay division like the Mamay or Saatli mosques. The mosque is located in Seyidli neighborhood on Cıdır road.
