Äcem Mosque, Mosque in Old Tatar Quarter, Kazan, Russia.

The Äcem Mosque features a 51-meter minaret and incorporates medieval Oriental architectural elements within its single-story structure and two prayer halls.

Mortaza Äcimev, a Tatar merchant, funded the mosque's construction in 1887, and the building opened its doors to worshippers in 1890.

The mosque stands among other historical religious buildings in the Old Tatar Quarter, representing the enduring Islamic presence in Kazan.

The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and offers guided tours for visitors interested in learning about its architectural and religious significance.

After closure in 1930, the mosque underwent extensive renovations from 1990 to 1992 before returning to the Muslim community as a federal cultural site.
