The Khidir Mosque (Azerbaijani: Xıdır Məscidi) is a former mosque, located on Muslim Magomayev street, in the Old City of Baku, in Azerbaijan. Completed in the 14th century, the building was registered as a national architectural monument by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated August 2, 2001, No. 132.

History

The mosque was built in 1301 on a street-stair. In turn, it affected the way of the architectural placement of the mosque.

In 1988, archaeological excavations on the lower floor of the dome and restoration works on the portal were carried out. The mosque was built on Zoroastrian temple.

Architecture

Proportional division of the interior, composition methods and stone elements are clearly expressed with vividly carving, and with mihrab with artistic expression the hall gets an interesting view. Straight profiled windows are installed on the south façade of the mosque. Through the whole perimeter of the mosque, the low-profiled crown expresses the methods of eastern composition.
