Muhammed Mosque

It was built during the reign of Shirvanshah I Fariburuz by master Muhammed Abubakr oglu. Four lines of writing carved with Kufic inscription over limestone on the northern wall of the mosque confirm this: Merciful Allah, ordered to build the mosque. Master Muhammed Abubakr. One of the most ancient and magnificent monuments of medieval Azerbaijani architecture is Muhammedi Mosque or Siniqqala considered the pearl of Baku-Absheron architecture school. Broken tower “Sinıqqala” called so since it was destroyed (upper part of mosque minaret) as a result of the city’s cannonry due to order of general-major of Russian fleet Matyushkin, whom Peter I sent to Baku for intelligence. Minaret is in cylindrical shape. “Sharafa” (place for muezzin) leans on the stalactite girdle and the minaret completed with hunk elements. Quran text written in Arabic-Kufic script goes under the stalactite girdle.
Conservation work was carried out in the mosque in 2013.
