Haji Yusifli Mosque
mosque in Shusha, Azerbaijan
The Haji Yusifli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Hacı Yusifli məscidi; sometimes also transliterated as Hajy Yusifli Mosque) is a former Shia Islam mosque located in Shusha, in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, approximately 350 km (220 mi) southwest from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
Overview
The former mosque is located on intersection of G. Zakir and G.Ismayilov streets of the Haji Yusifli neighborhood of Shusha. Haji Yusifli neighbourhood is one of nine lower and earlier neighbourhoods of Shusha in the northern part of the city. Julfalar Mosque was one of the 17 mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.
The exterior design of Julfalar Mosque followed a rectangular plan neighborhood mosque building like the Chukhur Mahalla Mosque and the Julfalar Mosque, but the interior completely complied with Islamic religious architecture. There was a Haji Yusifli spring by the mosque supplying mineral water for public use. The Haji Yusifli mosque went through a complete renovation along with Yukhari Govhar Agha, Ashaghi Govhar Agha, Taza Mahalla, Mamayi, Saatli, Kocharli mosques, Caravanserai of Agha Gahraman Mirsiyab, residences of Mehmandarovs, Zohrabbayovs, Khurshidbanu Natavan and the “Shirin su” bath house before occupation.
The mosque was among the most valuable monuments of the Shusha State Historical and Architectural Reserve.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Haji Yusifli Mosque” as mosque in Shusha, Azerbaijan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as mosque in Shusha, Azerbaijan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15222538. Authority coordinates are 39.762, 46.755. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
