The Yukhari Govhar Agha Mosque, also called the Upper Mosque or the Great Friday Mosque, is the most prominent religious building in Shusha. Its twin red brick minarets, banded with patterned glazed tile, dominate the skyline of the old town. The mosque was commissioned by Govhar Agha, daughter of Karabakh khan Ibrahim Khalil Khan, in the late nineteenth century.
The interior follows the classical Karabakh mosque plan — a square hall with a wooden gallery for women on three sides, supported by slender painted columns. The mihrab is set into the south wall, with restrained stucco decoration. The mosque has been heavily restored since 2020 and is once again in use for prayer.
