Hasanmurod Qushbegi mosque

The Hasanmurod Qushbegi Mosque is a prayer building in Khiva with a main structure supported by columns, plus two khankahs and residential areas within the same grounds. The complex brings together several rooms for worship along with other spaces that form an enclosed compound.

The structure was built between the 18th and 19th centuries and shows features of the architecture that developed in Central Asia during a period of significant religious and cultural activity. This era shaped the design and layout of many buildings across the region.

The interior walls display bright colored decorations that stand out against the plain brick exterior. This style of ornamentation reflects the artistic preferences that were common in the region during the period when the building was created.

You can explore the building throughout the year and visit both prayer spaces, while a nearby minaret serves as a helpful landmark for finding the site. The presence of this minaret makes it easy to locate the complex and keep your bearings while moving around.

The building was restored in 2019 through a preservation project that combined traditional methods with modern technology. This restoration effort demonstrates how historical sites can be maintained and protected using both time-honored techniques and contemporary approaches.
