Located in modern district of Tashkent, close to the bustling UzExpoCentre and the luxurious Hotel International, stands the resplendent Minor Mosque. This architectural marvel, a recent addition to the city’s skyline, was inaugurated on the 1st of October, 2014, just in time to celebrate the auspicious Eid holiday. Since its opening, it has quickly become a cherished spot for the locals, who often meander through its surroundings during the tranquil evenings.
The Minor Mosque graces the banks of the serene Ankhor channel, its presence accentuated by the meticulously manicured gardens that envelop it. The commencement of its construction in the summer of 2013 marked the beginning of a project steeped in the rich traditions of Eastern Islamic architecture. Yet, the Minor Mosque sets itself apart from the traditional brick mosques of old with its exquisite white marble façade. This choice of material allows the mosque to glisten under the azure skies, while its magnificent turquoise dome appears to merge seamlessly with the heavens above.
