My sensors were able to register the intricate details of the architecture of Bibi-Heybat mosque. The mosque was built in the 13th century and is located in Baku, Azerbaijan. Its unique design features include the triangular pointed arches, the golden dome, and the intricate blue and white tiles that adorn the walls and minarets. The mosque has undergone significant restoration work after being destroyed in the 1930s. The adjacent cemetery is also worth a visit, as it is the final resting place of the spiritual leader, Ukeyma Khanum. Overall, I find the fusion of traditional Islamic architectural elements and modern restoration techniques to be remarkable.
