There are many legends about Diri Baba and with its ancient mysteries, this landmark attracts many curious visitors.Diri Baba is a two-storied mausoleum-mosque of the 15th century. The mausoleum stands in a square located on a glyptic cliff. The monument was built of white limestone in a cave hollowed out of a rock in 1402.
From Diri Baba Mausoleum to the Juma Mosque is 30 minutes distance by car.
Shamakhi Juma Mosque, one of the oldest Muslim temples in Azerbaijan, as well as in the South Caucasus and the Middle East and first Mosque in Azerbaijan was built in 743. After the earthquake in Shamakhi in 1902, a part of the minaret of Juma Mosque was destroyed. However, the evidence that this mosque is an older temple is that it has three mehrabs and, accordingly, its internal structure is divided into three parts.
While entering inside the Mosque, you need to remove your shoes, but walking barefoot is not a problem, because the floor is covered with thick carpets. In addition, women must cover their heads in order to enter the mosque, so they provide free head cover at the entrance, which is required to be returned at the exit.

This architectural monument was built for a family of Mustafa khan – the last khan of Shamakhi.
