Located in the heart of the Old City (Icherisheher), this historic mosque dates back to the 11th century and represents an important part of Azerbaijan\u2019s medieval architectural heritage.<br \/><br \/>Although modest in size, Muhammad Mosque is particularly famous for its ancient minaret, distinctive stone architecture, and fascinating history connected with the Russian naval attack on Baku in 1723.<br \/><br \/>Today, the mosque remains an important historical landmark within the UNESCO-listed Old City of Baku.<br \/><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><b>History of Muhammad Mosque<\/b><\/span><br \/><br \/>Muhammad Mosque was built in 1078\u20131079, making it one of the earliest surviving mosques in Baku.<br \/><br \/>The construction date is known from an Arabic inscription discovered on the mosque, which identifies Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr as the person responsible for its construction.<br \/><br \/>The inscription provides valuable historical evidence about the development of Islamic architecture in medieval Baku.<br \/><br \/>Some researchers suggest that the mosque may have been constructed on the site of an earlier religious building, although the exact history of the location remains uncertain.<br \/><br \/>Over the centuries, the mosque underwent several changes and restorations, while its historic minaret remained one of its most significant architectural features.<br \/><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><b>Why Is It Called Siniggala Mosque?<\/b><\/span><br \/><br \/>The mosque is also widely known as Siniggala, an Azerbaijani name commonly interpreted as \u201cBroken Tower.\u201d<br \/><br \/>This unusual name is connected with the events of 1723, when Russian naval forces attacked Baku during Peter the Great\u2019s Persian Campaign.<br \/><br \/>During the bombardment, artillery fire damaged the upper section of the mosque\u2019s minaret.<br \/><br \/>According to local tradition, a powerful storm suddenly struck the Caspian Sea after the attack, forcing the Russian ships away from the city.<br \/><br \/>The story became part of Baku\u2019s historical folklore, and the damaged minaret gave the mosque its popular name, Siniggala.<br \/><br \/>The repaired section of the minaret can still be distinguished by differences in the stonework, serving as a reminder of the building\u2019s turbulent past.<br \/><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><b>Architecture of Muhammad Mosque<\/b><\/span><br \/><br \/>Muhammad Mosque is an excellent example of early medieval Islamic architecture in Azerbaijan.<br \/><br \/>The building is constructed from local limestone, a traditional material widely used in the historic buildings of Baku Old City.<br \/><br \/>Its relatively simple exterior reflects the architectural traditions of the Shirvan-Absheron region, where carefully shaped stonework and restrained decorative elements were commonly used.<br \/><br \/>The mosque\u2019s most distinctive feature is its slender cylindrical minaret, which rises above the surrounding historic buildings.<br \/><br \/>The minaret is decorated with traditional stone details and an Arabic inscription, making it particularly valuable from both architectural and historical perspectives.<br \/><br \/>Despite its modest dimensions, Muhammad Mosque demonstrates the craftsmanship and architectural knowledge of medieval Azerbaijani builders.<br \/><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><b>Restoration and Preservation<\/b><\/span><br \/><br \/>Throughout its long history, Muhammad Mosque experienced damage, alterations, and several restoration efforts.<br \/><br \/>Some restoration work carried out during the Soviet period changed elements of the original structure.<br \/><br \/>Later conservation projects focused on preserving the mosque\u2019s historic appearance and correcting earlier interventions where possible.<br \/><br \/>Special attention was given to the minaret, ancient stonework, and surviving architectural details.<br \/><br \/>Today, Muhammad Mosque is protected as part of the historic architectural heritage of Icherisheher.<br \/><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><b>Visiting Muhammad Mosque<\/b><\/span><br \/><br \/>Muhammad Mosque is located within the narrow streets of Baku Old City, within walking distance of the Maiden Tower and other major historical attractions.<br \/><br \/>Its location makes it an interesting stop during a walking tour of Icherisheher.<br \/><br \/>Visitors can admire the mosque\u2019s medieval architecture, examine its historic minaret, and discover the story behind the name Siniggala.<br \/><br \/>The mosque is especially interesting for travelers who appreciate Islamic history, ancient architecture, and the lesser-known historical landmarks of Baku.<br \/><br \/>Interior access may be restricted, so visitors should not assume that the building is always open to the public.<br \/><br \/>A visit to Muhammad Mosque offers an opportunity to explore nearly a thousand years of Baku\u2019s architectural history and discover one of the Old City\u2019s oldest surviving monuments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
