Nezami Mausoleum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nezami Mausoleum, built in honor of Nezāmī Ganjavī, stands just outside the city of Ganja, Azerbaijan. It is a tall cylindrical building, surrounded by gardens. To one side, there is a metal statue commemorating Nezami's epic poems. The mausoleum was originally built in 1947 in place of an old collapsed mausoleum, and rebuilt in its present form in 1991.
