Pul-e Khishti Mosque, Central religious complex in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan.

The Pul-e Khishti Mosque is a prayer complex in the city center of Kabul crowned by a large blue dome that marks the skyline. The building displays traditional Islamic architecture with open courtyards and decorated entrances.

The mosque was built in the late 1700s and underwent major reconstruction work during the reign of King Zahir Shah in the 1960s. Recent restoration efforts took place in 2019.

The mosque serves the local community as a central meeting place for prayers and religious gatherings. People from different neighborhoods come together here to participate in shared events throughout the year.

The complex is accessible during regular prayer times, and visitors should wear appropriate clothing and show respect for the religious space. It is helpful to check prayer times before visiting to find the best moment for exploring.

In the early 20th century, a British convert to Islam served as the mosque's imam before returning home to England. This uncommon connection shows how the place attracted people from different parts of the world.
