The Guyulug Mosque (Azerbaijani: Quyuluq məscidi) is a Shia Islam mosque located in Shusha, Azerbaijan.[1][2] The mosque is located on Ojaggulu street of Guyulug neighborhood of Shusha.[3][4]
The Guyulug Mosque was one of the seventeen mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.[5][6][7] As of 2007[update], the exact state of the mosque was unknown.[8]
