Blue Mosque, Persian mosque in Kentron District, Armenia
The Blue Mosque displays Persian architectural elements with a central dome, high minaret, and azure tiles covering its exterior and interior surfaces.
Built in 1768 under Husein Ali Khan, the mosque remained the only operating Islamic prayer house in Armenia through the Soviet period.
The mosque functions as both a religious center for Shiite Muslims and houses a library containing Persian manuscripts and literature collections.
Located at 12 Mesrop Mashtots Avenue, the mosque opens daily from sunrise to sunset, allowing visitors to explore its gardens and Persian-style architecture.
The mosque complex spans 7,000 square meters and includes a madrasah, library, and exhibition halls displaying Persian-Armenian historical connections.
