Bibi-Heybat Mosque

Bibiheybət, Azerbaijan · built 1281

The Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybət məscidi, ‌) is located in the village of Bibiheybət, near Baku, Azerbaijan. The current structure, completed in the 1990s, replicates the original 13th-century mosque built at the behest of Iranian Shirvanshah Farrukhzad II Ibn Ahsitan II. The historic mosque was completely destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936. It is occasionally called "the Mosque of Fatima", which is how Alexandre Dumas referred to it during his visit in the 1850s.
