Mirza Adigozal bey family Mausoleums (Azerbaijani: Mirzə Adıgözəl bəy ailəsinin türbələri) are architectural monuments dedicated to Mirza Adigozal bey, Azerbaijani historian. The historical monument is an Islamic mausoleum in the Azerbaijani village of Rahimli, Goranboy District. The site is also the final resting place of his family members.
The buildings in the complex surround a small graveyard in the Rahimli village.[1] They were constructed in the 19th century. The mausoleum complex is now owned by the Ministry of Culture.[2]
The present complex includes 6 separate surviving mausoleums (türbe) with domes. 4 big mausoleums were built of burnt brick, while cobblestones and pebbles were used for the remain small ones. All of them are relatively small buildings, domed and quadrilateral in shape, containing a single chamber.[1]
Around the western edge of the tomb, there is an inscription carved by Mirza Mehdi Ganjavi, calligrapher.[1] Over the façade, placing on the gypsum panel, this inscription attributes the main tomb to Mirza Adigozal bey, and other tombs to his close relatives. The mausoleum of Mirza Adigozal bey bears the date of 1847/1848 as the year of his death.[1]
