Zangilan Mosque

The Zangilan Mosque was constructed by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

 

While the city was under occupation by Armenian armed forces, the mosque had been destroyed, losing 70 percent of its primary view. A new mosque was built next to the preserved historical mosque.

 

The new mosque building’s design has a rectangular shape, having two minarets and three rood towers. Here are two prayer’s rooms for 220 and 100 people. The minarets and domes were built using glazed tiles and bricks. Decoration works were performed inside the mosque, the mehrab being decorated with vegetal ornaments using glazed tiles. The pulpit and decorative elements were made of wood. 

 

An open-air exhibition was created on the territory of the historical Zangilan Mosque, destroyed during the occupation. Facts related to acts of vandalism committed against a number of religious monuments existed on the territories of Karabakh and Eastern Zangilan are displaced at the exhibition.
