The mau­soleum is dif­fer­ent from many oth­er Azer­bai­jani mau­soleums. It is designed in the form of an octag­o­nal tow­er, the height of which is 25 meters. Ini­tial­ly, the struc­ture was 9 meters high­er, but the pre­vi­ous­ly exist­ing dome did not sur­vive to our times, which is why the mau­soleum was notice­ably “tram­pled down.” Momine is the name of the moth­er of the Azer­bai­jani ruler Jahan Pahla­van, who died at the end of the 12th cen­tu­ry. It was then that the lov­ing son ordered the con­struc­tion of the mau­soleum from the then famous archi­tect Adje­mi ibn Abubekr Nakhchivan. The tow­er was once part of a large com­plex.
