The Khoja Marjanli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Xoca Mərcanlı Məscidi) was a former Shia Islam mosque, now in ruins, located in Shusha, in the Karabakh district of Azerbaijan. It is located on Mirza Alakbar Sabir street of Khoja Marjanli neighborhood of Shusha, approximately 350 km (220 mi) from Baku, the capital.[1][2]
Shusha was part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, and came under control of local Armenian forces on May 8, 1992.[3][4] During the period of occupation, the mosque was abandoned and desecrated. On 8 November 2020, Azerbaijani forces retook the city during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War following a three-day long battle.[5][6]
