Located in Hazra village in the Gusar region, it holds significant historical importance. The tomb commemorates Sheikh Juneyd, who was a key figure in a battle that took place in 1456 between the Shirvanshahs, led by Khalilullah I, and the Qizilbashs, led by Sheikh Juneyd himself. In this battle, Sheikh Juneyd was killed, and his grave later became the site for the tomb. After the Safavids took power in Shirvan in 1544, they constructed the tomb of Sheikh Junayd on the grave in Hazra village. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tomb underwent a thoroughly restoration in 2007 and now is enclosed by a fence. Visitor numbers vary with the seasons; the site receives a high number of tourists during the summer months, but fewer in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities Available<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Public Toilet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Picnic areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taxi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tomb of Sheikh Juneyd is located near the ancient cemetery in Hazra village of Gusar region.
