Gochahmadli Mosque
Location: Gochahmadli, Fuzuli
Condition Assessment
Status: Minor damage
Located in the village of Gochahmadli (Fuzuli district), this mosque appears on the list of heritage sites of the Republic of Azerbaijan (inventory No. 4233) as an architectural monument dating to the 19th century. 1 However, another source indicates that it was constructed in 1905-1906. 2
Comparison of Hexagon satellite imagery dated July 1980 3 with satellite imagery captured in March 2022 4 shows that the overall condition of the mosque remained unchanged in this period, except that the structure's Soviet-era roofing was removed to expose the traditional domed roof. The domed roof remained largely intact, but photographs ( a , b , c , d ) post-dating the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War show that one of the domes has a hole in it that is not visible in the satellite imagery. The photographs also show minor damage to the facade of the building.
