Qol Şärif Mosque, Mosque in Qazan Kremlin, Russia
The Qol Şärif Mosque features eight minarets with teal tops, white marble walls, and granite foundations within the Kazan Kremlin complex.
Construction of the current mosque began in 1996 to replace the original 16th-century structure that Ivan the Terrible's forces destroyed during the 1552 siege.
The mosque functions as a central religious institution for the Tatar Muslim community, incorporating traditional Islamic architectural elements with regional design influences.
Visitors can explore the mosque from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with space for 6,000 worshippers inside the main prayer hall.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates contributed funds to construct this mosque, which stands as the largest in Russia outside of the North Caucasus region.
