Architectural Description
1863 y․

The wooden roof was destroyed. Its only entrance was in the northern facade. A Turkish inscription made by rather illiterate carver in Arabic alphabet contains the dating - 1863. By the way, the Azerbaijanian Encyclopaedia ground-lessly dated this mosque by 1718.

The reading of this inscription was provided by H. Papazian. Azerbaijanian Soviet Encyclopaedia, vol. Ill, Baku, 1979, p. 73.
