The Thousandth Anniversary of Islam Mosque, Federal cultural heritage mosque in Kazan, Russia.

This religious structure features traditional Islamic architectural elements, with a large prayer hall and prominent facade positioned near the Kaban River.

The mosque was constructed between 1924 and 1926 through community donations to mark 1000 years since Volga Bulgars embraced Islam in 922.

The mosque maintains a central role for Muslims in Kazan, offering regular prayers, educational programs, and community gatherings for the Tatar population.

Visitors need to remove shoes before entering the prayer area and women should cover their heads according to Islamic customs.

This religious building stands as the only mosque constructed during the Soviet period in the region and reopened in 1991.
