_Gurbanguly Hajji Mosque

Information

The white marble mosque with golden domes and four slender minarets is one of the attractions of Mary. The building was built in the best traditions of Turkmen architecture. The diameter of the main dome with a mosaic ornament, crowned with a golden crescent, is 24 m (79 ft) meters. The height of each of the minarets is 63 m (207 ft) meters. The prayer hall is designed for the simultaneous participation in the prayer of 2,500 people. The upper tier is for women. Eight columns hold the dome with a span of 24 m (79 ft) meters.

The interior is decorated with noble materials: marble, granite and precious woods. A special place in the decoration of the mosque is occupied by embossed epigraphy containing Surahs of the Koran and traditional Islamic calligraphy. They also adorn its white marble facades.

The tall domes are faced with majolica and crowned with gilded crescents. In the evening, the mosque is illuminated with the original colour illumination of the building.

The complex includes a special building for a sadaqah, a building for ritual ceremonies, a hotel and other necessary buildings. Cascades of fountains adorn the central staircase of the mosque.
