Şeyx Şamil məscidi, Historical mosque in Makhachkala, Russia
The Shamil Sheikh Mosque features four minarets and a central dome, constructed with white marble and adorned with Islamic architectural elements throughout its structure.
Named after Sheikh Shamil, a 19th-century leader who led resistance movements in Dagestan and Chechnya against Russian imperial expansion from 1834 to 1859.
The mosque functions as a central gathering place for Muslims in Makhachkala, offering regular prayer services and religious education programs to the local community.
Visitors can access the mosque during non-prayer times and must remove shoes before entering, while women are required to cover their heads with scarves.
The mosque incorporates elements of both traditional Dagestani architecture and modern engineering, creating a structure that connects past and present design approaches.
