Tashkent, UzbekistanAbout this attraction
Minor Mosque is a large white-marble mosque on the Anhor Canal in Tashkent's Minor neighborhood, nicknamed the White Mosque. Construction began in 2013 and it opened in autumn 2014, on the eve of Qurban Hayit. It is a modern building in traditional Central Asian style rather than a historic one.
A wide blue dome rises between two minarets about 38 meters tall. Inside, the two-story prayer hall holds up to 2,400 people, with plaster carvings and frescoes bearing Qur'anic inscriptions, and terraces with carved wooden columns open onto a courtyard. It is especially photogenic in the evening, and the canal-side setting makes for a calm stop away from the busier old city.
