Tolyatti Cathedral Mosque, Muslim religious center in Tolyatti, Russia.
Tolyatti Cathedral Mosque is a religious building standing 38 meters tall with two floors designed for prayer, featuring separate sections for men and women. The structure accommodates about 3,500 worshippers and follows the layout typical of mosques designed for the five daily prayers of Islamic practice.
Construction started in 1993 after the local Muslim community requested a dedicated place for worship, with the building opening in 1997. This period marked a significant moment when the growing community was finally able to establish its own religious center.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community, where people come to pray, study, and participate in religious events together. It is a living center where you can observe how faith shapes the rhythm of daily life for many residents.
The mosque is open throughout the week with prayer times following the Islamic calendar, so visiting times depend on the time of year. Dress respectfully when visiting and be mindful that this is an active place of worship where people gather for regular daily prayers.
The building was designed to adapt to the climate conditions of the Volga region, blending traditional Islamic architectural elements with practical features suited to the local environment. This thoughtful combination of cultural design and regional adaptation makes it a noteworthy example of religious architecture in Russia.
