In this paper, the earliest two cultural material samples of Seljuks in Azerbajcan as well as Anatolia are depicted. In the study, the main aim is the investigation of these two works, which are little known in Turkish world, in some points of view such as their history, contractors, designs, architectures and ornament. For this reason, in a number of buildings in Baku and around it, some procedures were performed such as required measures, technical drawings, and photographing. After that, the study was completed with source inquiries in the Archives of Baku Berpa, Ahundov Library along with a number of Turkish libaries. Consequently, in their new homelands too, Turks tended to apply the aesthetical values, architectural approach and artistic motives which they brought in their mind togetheras well as remarkable political achievements which they obtained by housing Anatolia. Therefore, it is highly probable to come accross such samples of pre-Anatolian cultural heritage in the cities they built or on the routes they passed through during this mobility. Both of the buildings are considered remarkable in that they are the earliest samples from Seljuks which have remained until today, making it available us to track down the developments in Turkish architecture. Sınıg Gala Masjid, the first small built after Turks' arriving in Baku, is still found remarkable since it has statical problems as well as its slipshod appearance and its huge minarets that is independently built from the main building. As for the Ashur Masjids, with its two storey facade and embellished supporting arch seperating the inside, it is undoubtedly a work of a less-developed architectural style establishment of the period. However, the most considerable drawback in both of the vaulted buildings is the practise of gloomy, dim and failed locations. As a result, even though they are small scaled buildings, they don't raise anything new, they are both important in order to closely trail the architectural line of the period},author={Ramazan UYKUR},year={2012},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
