Gurbanguly Hajji Mosque, Islamic mosque in Mary, Turkmenistan

The Gurbanguly Hajji Mosque features four 63-meter minarets and a central dome measuring 24 meters in diameter and height, constructed entirely of white marble.

The construction of this religious edifice began in 2001 under architects Kakajan Durdyev and Durli Durdyev, with completion achieved in 2009 through Turkish company Kilic Insaat.

The mosque incorporates traditional Islamic design elements through its marble and majolica work, with Koranic verses displayed in embossed epigraphy throughout the interior spaces.

The prayer hall contains separate areas for men and women, with an upper tier specifically designated for female worshippers among the total capacity of 2500 people.

In 2018, renovation works resulted in the application of gold paint to the main dome, creating a striking contrast against the white marble exterior.
