Makhachkala Grand Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Makhachkala, Russia
The Makhachkala Grand Mosque is a house of worship featuring Ottoman architecture in Russia's Dagestan region. The structure displays 57 domes and two tall minarets, with white tiles covering all exterior and interior surfaces.
Construction began in 1991 with support from a Turkish family and local residents, reaching completion in 1995. The building opened to worshippers in 1997 and became the main prayer site for the city.
The mosque serves as the main religious center for the region and brings together people from across Dagestan for daily worship. Visitors can observe how the community gathers here for spiritual practice and celebration.
The building accommodates thousands of worshippers and welcomes visitors during designated hours. Wear modest clothing out of respect, and plan your visit around the five daily prayer times when the space is actively used.
The interior walls feature intricate floral and abstract designs along with verses from the Quran, illuminated by large chandeliers throughout the space. One chandelier in particular stands out for its exceptional size and weight.
