Al-Marjani mosque in Kazan

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Cathedral Mosque al-Marjani is located in the heart of the Old Tatar settlement on the pedestrian tourist street Nasyri Kayum. This is a very old mosque, its construction began in 1766, and the construction permit was given by Catherine II herself during her visit to Kazan. Al-Marjani became the first mosque in the city, built of stone, after being slightly rebuilt and completed, but in general retained its original appearance. For tourists, it is interesting not only for its exterior but also for the fact that you can go inside and see its decoration. Unlike the new model Kul Sharif mosques this one feels the breath of antiquity and prayer, besides, the age of the structure itself is impressive, because it is already more than 250 years old.
