Information

Hazrat Hyzr mosque is located on the south of Afrasiab fort. Not far from Afrasiab settlement on the upland of Samarkand city the Mosque Hazrat Hyzr looks grand and bewitching. The mosque is situated near the memorial complex Shakhi Zinda and the local bazaar “Siab”. It is a fine example of folk architecture of Samarkand of that era. Externally it is quite different from the buildings erected in the era, such as Amir Timur, which gives it a special identity.

The first thing that caught one’s eyes is a memorial plaque with an inscription that the mosque last restoration was held under the tutelage of Islam Karimov, the President of Uzbekistan.
