Architec­ture

In 1988, Kul­luk­bashi mos­que was burned by Armenians. Currently, it has been destroyed and razed to the ground.

In Ulukhanli, the ancient Azerbaijani ho­me­land, almost every neighborhood had its own mosque. These mosques were a place of sacred faith for the local po­pu­lation, a place of worship, religious les­sons, religious conversations, as well as a place where world events and common problems were discussed, and where people gathered in mass to do charity work. The Kullukbashi mosque, located between the Elatlar quarter and the Kir­mizi quarter, was one of these mosques. Because it is relatively close to Elatar, it was also called the Elatar Mosque. The Kullukbashi mosque, which was used for other purposes during the Soviet period, officially resumed its activity in 1970. In 1988, it was burned and razed to the ground by Armenians .
