Mausoleum

Status: Indeterminate

Located in the village of Papravand, in the Aghdam district, this mausoleum appears on the list of heritage sites of the Republic of Azerbaijan (inventory No. 4043) as an architectural monument dating to the 18th century. ¹ 

The mausoleum is not visible on Hexagon satellite imagery dated August 1980, ²  nor was CHW able to locate Soviet-era images, making it impossible to assess its condition in the late Soviet years. Moreover, the earliest publicly available satellite image of the mausoleum that we were able to locate dates to April 2019. ³  Thus, at present we are not able to track changes to the condition of the mausoleum over time.

CHW geolocated the mausoleum based on a  video  and images ( a ,  b ,  c ,  d ,  e ) post-dating the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War.
