Boyahmadli Mosque

Location: Boyahmadli, Aghdam

Condition Assessment

Status: Unchanged

The Boyahmadli Mosque (Aghdam district) is listed on the Republic of Azerbaijan's registry of heritage sites (inventory No. 4054) as a 19 th  or 20 th  century structure.   It is listed without a name, but here we refer to it as Boyahmadli Mosque due to its location in the village of the same name.

Comparison of Hexagon satellite imagery dated August 1980 2  with satellite imagery captured in August 2021 3  shows that the condition of the mosque has not substantially changed. The building was already missing its roof in the 1980s.
