In every megalopolis live people of different faiths: Orthodox and Catholic Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and others. Each of them is required to go to different temples, but sometimes they are difficult to find independently. Temples and cathedrals are also important sights, and some of them are considered "business cards" of the city (for example, St. Basil's Cathedral ). In this article we will tell how many mosques are in Moscow and where they are.
Historical
This is the first mosque in Moscow. It was built in 1826 on the land of merchant Nazarbay Khamalov, now it is the Bolshaya Tatar lane. But only in 1881 the building acquired all the elements of the Muslim prayer house - a minaret and a dome. Since 1930, it was closed, and it housed various institutions. Restored its work only in 1993 on the donations of the Saudis.
