Landmark · Hidden Gem · Tourist Spot
Admire the impressive minarets of Bibi-Heybat Mosque, a restored historic mosque at the entrance to the city from the south. Reopened in 2008, the mosque covers the site of an earlier 13th century mosque that housed the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of Muhammad. With its elaborately decorated interior of green and gold, the mosque reflects Shirvan architecture and has three domes. The old mosque was known as "the mosque of Fatima," so called by French writer Alexander Dumas who traveled here in the 1850s. You can plan Baku trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

    A bit far from center. You may go there from 28 may, by bus #125. Nice view, amazing decoration inside
  • By Ahmed Farooq
    The mosque is the resting place of Bibi Heybat. Not known to a lot of locals. Must visit if you know the religious importance!
