Hazrat-Hyzr Mosque, Historical mosque in Samarkand, Uzbekistan
The Hazrat-Hyzr Mosque stands on a natural elevation accessed by steep stairs, covering an area of 30 by 16 meters near Afrasiab fort.
Built in the 7th century during the Arab Caliphate conquest of Samarkand, the mosque underwent major reconstructions in 1854, 1884, and received final additions in 1919.
The mosque carries the name of prophet Hazrat Hyzra, mentioned in the Koran as a servant of God who protected against fire and supported those in need.
The structure includes a square khanaka with monks' cells, a separate minaret with a spiral staircase, and a decorated aivan supported by columns.
The entrance features wooden doors with shallow profile carvings that create distinct shadow patterns while maintaining the integrity of the ornamental design.
