BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 7. The Ashaghi Govhar
Agha Mosque, which suffered extensive vandalism during nearly 30
years of Armenian occupation, has been restored to its historical
glory, Trend reports.
The Ashaghi Govhar Agha Mosque, designed in the 19th century by
architect Karbalai Safikhan Garabaghi, is recognized as the first
mosque built in Shusha by the daughter of Ibrahim Khan Govhar
Agha.
The Ashaghi Govhar Agha Mosque is one of the historical and
architectural symbols of the city. Shusha historically consisted of
17 upper and lower quarters. The Ashaghi Govhar Agha Mosque was
named so because it was located in the lower part of the city. To
make the mosque look taller and more attractive, the architect
placed minarets on the rear facade.
During the occupation of Shusha, the building and minarets of
the mosque were seriously damaged, coming under fire from Armenian
armored vehicles, the mosque became a victim of vandalism.
