This site is one of the prominent monuments in the city of Nakhchivan in Azerbaijan. The site is distinguished by its amazing architecture, it is skillfully decorated with an intricate geometric pattern with inscriptions from the Holy Quran. This large mausoleum was a true medieval skyscraper that reached 34 meters in height, but today it is only 25 meters high. Each side of the roof is completely covered with exquisitely carved Arabic script in Kufic style, modeled on geometric patterns. This mausoleum was built by the ruler of Khatun for his wife Momin Khatun, and although he died before its construction was completed, his son completed the construction and is considered today one of the most beautiful monuments in the country.
