Xanəgah tomb complex
The so-called Tomb Complex of Xanəgah is a small mausoleum - Chanegah complex in Nakhchivan . It stands on the banks of the river near the village Alindscha Xanəgah ( Chanägah ) and probably served a Sufi - Sheikh - maybe Faslullah Naimi Täbrisi - as a final resting place.
The complex, which (according to an inscription) was built at least in part by a Chodscha named Jamal ad-Din, consists of a main building that probably dates back to the 12th or 13th century and a cube-shaped extension from the 15th century. In the style of the Nakhchivan school , the mausoleum was built from light-colored bricks, has a square floor plan and goes up first into an octagon, then into a hexagon and is finally crowned by a dome.
On the ground floor there is a prayer niche, which is decorated with arabesques and plant motifs, below is the burial chamber . The decor with turquoise tiles and patterns makes the building resemble the Momine Chatun mausoleum .
