Nestled in the village of Həzrə Kəndi, the Həzrə Türbələri Kompleksi (Hazra Mausoleums Complex) is a captivating historical and architectural site dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. This complex originally consisted of seven mausoleums, though only four have survived to this day. Two of the extant tombs are in disrepair. The site provides a window into the Shirvan-Absheron architectural style. Inscriptions on two of the tombs indicate they were constructed during the reign of Shah Tahmasib I. The tombs vary in their entrance frames, cornice variations, and interior volume solutions. One tomb's inscription identifies the architect as Ustad Shamsaddin from Shamakhi, who also worked on the Sheikh Mazid tomb in Agsu. The presence of an ancient cemetery with intricately decorated tombstones adds to the site's mystique. The tombstones feature refined floral-geometric patterns and inscriptions. The complex is not only an architectural marvel but also a place for peaceful reflection. The surrounding landscape enhances the spiritual essence of the site, offering a serene retreat for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
