Khoja Marjanly's Spring (Azerbaijani: Xoca Mərcanlı bulağı) is a historical spring located in the city of Shusha, in the Khoja Marjanly neighbourhood, near the mosque with the same name. It was built in the 18th century.[2][3] Since the occupation of Shusha by the Armenian forces on 8 May 1992, the spring was in a neglected state and eventually dried up.
History[edit]
Shusha, founded in the 18th century, was divided into 17 mehelles (neighbourhoods). Each of them had its own mosque, church, spring and hammam (bath).[4] The history of one of these quarters, Khoja Marjanly, coincides with the history of the city.[5] The Mehelle Khoja Marjanly belongs to the upper mehelles and is located in the centre of the city of Shusha.[6] When the neighbourhood was laid, a spring was also built here along with the mosque. After the occupation of Shusha by the Armenian forces in 1992, the spring was in a neglected state, the mosque [7] and other buildings of the neighbourhood were destroyed. Subsequently, the spring dried up.
