Momine Khatun Mausoleum

Nakhchivan city

An elaborately decorated medieval mausoleum in Nakhchivan city, associated with architect Ajami Nakhchivani.

Begin with the mausoleum's overall proportions, then look at the ornamental surfaces without touching them. Use the site interpretation to understand the architectural attribution rather than guessing the meaning of inscriptions.

Before travelling, confirm opening hours, price, ticket inclusions and interior access with the responsible institution.

Nakhchivan is separated from the main part of the country. Plan transport separately rather than assuming a continuous road journey from Baku.
