About

Subaba mausoleum is located in the Alpan village of the Quba district.[1] This mausoleum, built in the 16th century, was constructed on the grave of Sufi Mikayil, one of the brave soldiers who died during Shah Ismail Khatai's army's march through this village during the Safavid era.[2] The name of the mausoleum gradually changed over time from Sufibaba to Sufbaba, finally adopting the name Subaba.[3]

In March 1918, Armenian forces attacked the Alpan village of the Quba district.[4] Despite the weakly armed resistance from the villagers, they were defeated.[5] Subsequently, the Armenians destroyed the headstones in the cemetery and set fire to the Subaba mausoleum.[6] Bullet and shell traces can be found on the headstones surrounding the mausoleum.

After Azerbaijan regained its independence, the tomb was included in the list of locally significant immovable historical and cultural monuments by Decision No. 132 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 2, 2001.[7] The tomb, which had not been restored for many years, is in a dilapidated condition. The dome has collapsed, and the walls are crumbling.[8]
