Overview

The former mosque is located on intersection of G. Zakir and G.Ismayilov streets of the Haji Yusifli neighborhood of Shusha. [2] 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. [3] [4]
