Taza Mahalla Mosque (Azerbaijani: Təzə məhəllə məscidi; which can also be transliterated as Teze Mehelle in English) is an Azerbaijani mosque located in Shusha about 350 km from capital Baku.[1][2] The mosque was one of the 17 mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.[3] It was located on Firudin bey Kocharli street of Taza Mahalla neighborhood of Shusha.
Analysis of satellite imagery by the Caucasus Heritage Watch of Cornell University shows that between 1980 and 2004 the mosque remained well-preserved. Between 2004 and 2013, the mosque was renovated by the de facto Armenian authorities and used as a geology museum.[4]
