The Khoja Marjanli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Xoca Mərcanlı Məscidi, Persian: مسجد خواجه مرجانلی) was a former Shia Islam mosque, now in ruins, located in Shusha, in the Karabakh region. It is located on the Mirza Alakbar Sabir street of the Khoja Marjanli neighborhood of Shusha.[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 conquered the city during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War following a three-day long battle.[5][6]
