The height of a Shah Mosque’s minaret is 16 meters. It had been inscribed that this minaret was built by Shirvanshah Khalilullah in the XV century. Unfortunately, the stone sherefe of a minaret was destroyed by the russian tsar fleets’ cannonballs. There are three entrances to the mosque and two separate prayer halls for women and men. In the opposite of a main entrance there is a mehrab showing the direction of Mecca.
