The building was also registered as a national architectural monument by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated August 2, 2001, No. 132.[1]
The monument was built in XIII century. It mainly operated as mahallah mosque, and also as secondary school.[2] In 1967, archeological excavations were conducted around the takya. It was restored in 1970s.[3] [4]
Dervishes were spiritually purified, performing individual and mass religious rituals here. Takyas were also a shelter for traveling strangers.[2]
