Mamayi Mosque (Template:Lang-az) is an Azerbaijani mosque located in Shusha, Azerbaijan about 350 kilometres (220 mi) from the capital Baku. The mosque is located on G. Asgarov street of Mamayi neighborhood of Shusha.[1][2] Mamayi neighbourhood is the 4th of 8 upper and earlier neighbourhoods of Shusha. In total, there are 17 neighbourhoods. Mamayi Mosque was one of the 17th mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.[3][4][5] A few years before occupation of Shusha, Mamayi Mosque along with Ashaghi Govhar Agha, Yukhari Govhar Agha and Saatli mosques were renovated.[6] According to a satellite report by the Caucasus Heritage Watch of Cornell University, during the de-facto Armenian control of the region, the mosque remained unchanged and well-preserved until 2020.[7] It returned to Azerbaijani control in 2020 following a three-day-long battle over Shusha.
