Dating from the 9th–10th centuries, it is one of the oldest mosques in Baku, and is located in the historical part of Icherisheher, north of Maiden Tower.

[1] The mosque was discovered as a result of archaeological excavations carried out between 1990 and 1993 conducted by archaeologist Farhad Ibrahimov.

An Arabic inscription was found on the altar of the mosque, written in kufi script and saying, "Power belongs to Allah (God)."

The mosque, including the adjacent rooms and a colonnade of lancet arches, was a single complex.
