_Minor Mosque

Information

The Minor Mosque is a new mosque in Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan. It is located on the bank of Anhor canal, whose embankment has undergone major improvements in recent months in terms of its appearance.

The building is created in traditional oriental and Uzbek architectural styles. The main building of the mosque – a prayer hall – is a two-storied structure flanked by two portals. On the corners of the main façade are two 38-meter high minarets. At the same time the mosque differs from ancient brick buildings in that it is covered in white marble. On a clear day it sparkles and its blue dome seems to dissolve in the sky.

The interior of the mosque is decorated in Naqsh style, with Quranic and other texts. Designed to hold more than 2,400 people, the mosque is divided into the open front of the terraces and a huge domed hall with a gilded mekhrob (niche indicating Mecca) decorated with Quranic texts.
