Sheikh Mansur Mausoleum

The Sheikh Mansur Mausoleum is one of four surviving tombs within the Hazra Mausoleum Complex, a group of fifteenth- to sixteenth-century funerary monuments in a medieval cemetery near Hazra village in Qabala district, Azerbaijan. Its inscription links the structure to Sheikh Mansur and states that the surrounding settlement had already been known by his name since the thirteenth century, suggesting the site's religious significance predates the mausoleum itself by several hundred years. Architecturally it follows the Shirvan-Absheron school seen across the complex, combining a rectangular interior chamber with an octagonal external form. The cemetery once contained seven mausoleums built for local Sufi sheikhs, of which only four remain, two of them in poor condition; the Sheikh Mansur Mausoleum's surviving inscription makes it one of the more historically informative structures at the site.
