Mausoleum in Khachin-Turbetli village is a tomb mausoleum of Katava Hoja the son of Musa located not far from Khachin-Turbetli village of Aghdam of Azerbaijan and was built by ustad Shahbenzer, in 1314. The mausoleum is located 23 km to the northern part of Agdam and is considered a notable monument of memorial architecture of medieval Azerbaijan.
Architecture and decoration of the mausoleum expand notions about interconnection of arts of “Muslim” and “Christian” oblasts of the Near East, South Caucasus and Anatolia. It has a dodecahedral body finished with a pyramidal marquee and stands on a not small three-laddered basement.
Strictness of the arch’s interior is underlined by filigree ligature of the ornament of the biggest rosette located opposite the entry. An Arabic ligature on aperture of the upper cell indicates a name of a buried man, construction date – the year 1314 – and a name of the architect – Shahbenzer. The mihrab and content of the ligature confirms that a “customer” was Muslim.
