Gurjulu Mausoleum (Azerbaijani: Gürcülü türbəsi) is a historical and architectural monument of the 18th century located in the territory of Gurjulu village of Qubadli District.
There are no inscriptions on the monument, and it is possible that the mausoleum was completely without inscriptions. Therefore, researchers who studied the monument, in determining its history, relied mainly on architectural features. According to A. Salamzadeh, one of the main elements pointing to the history of the mausoleum is the settlement of the entrance in the form of a small relief portal. This approach is typical of the 17th-century Azerbaijani mausoleums. The shape of the arch that completes the portal is also characteristic of that period. Although such arches have been known for their purpose since ancient times, they were used as a decorative element only after the 17th century.[1]
