Molla Panah Vagif’s Tomb

Molla Panah Vagif’s Tomb is located in Shusha city, Azerbaijan. Construction of the tomb was completed in 1982 and Heydar Aliyev, the then-president of Azerbaijan, attended the opening of the monument.
The tomb was built based on the project of the full member of ANAS, doctor of art criticism A.V.Salamzada and the honoured architect, candidate of architecture E.I.Kanukov.
The tomb stands magnificently on the rocky hill where the poet was tragically killed and buried, on the south-west side of Shusha, on the famous Jidir Plain, where holiday celebrations and competitions were held. After the occupation of Shusha in 1992 by Armenian armed forces, the tomb was damaged and it is currently in poor condition.
