Masalli: Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder of the IDEA Public Union, visited the Masalli district.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, during her visit, Leyla Aliyeva toured the Juma Mosque, which is renowned for its historical and religious significance in the district. She took the opportunity to familiarize herself with the mosque’s historical and architectural features.
The Juma Mosque, situated in the heart of Masalli, was originally constructed in 1846. The building of the mosque was made possible through the financial contributions of local residents and philanthropists. After the country gained independence, the mosque was restored and resumed its role as a place of worship. In the years that followed, the state undertook major repairs on the mosque, and in 2001, it was officially recognized as an immovable historical and cultural monument of local importance.
At the conclusion of her visit, Leyla Aliyeva was honored with a gift of the Holy Quran.
