Maxim Gorky Prospekt, 7
1910-14. Architect N.Vasilyev, with participation
of S.Krichinsky, A.Gogen and craftsmen from
Central Asia
The Mosque is stylized in imitation of traditional
Central Asian architecture. The main prototype is
the Gur-Emir Mausoleum in Samarkand. The
majolica decoration of the portals and cupola
was performed under the supervision of the
ceramist P.Vaulin. The interior is decorated in
the Moslem architectural tradition.
