The Taza Pir Mosque is a Shia mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan, built between 1905 and 1914 under the patronage of Azeri philanthropist Nabat Khanum Ashurbeyova. Designed by Eugeniusz Skibiński, the mosque exemplifies the Shirvan-Absheron architectural school, a regional Islamic style characteristic of Azerbaijan. Now recognized as a cultural heritage monument, it stands as a testament to both the architectural traditions of early twentieth-century Baku and the significant role of women patrons in the city's religious architecture.
