Saint Petersburg Mosque - the World’s Northernmost Mosque

Architectural Monuments • Temples and places of worship • Mosques • Other places

The Saint Petersburg Mosque is the northernmost mosque in the world. Its construction began in 1910, and the first collective prayer, dedicated to the anniversary of the Romanovs dynasty, was held here in 1913, even before the completion of the building works. The construction was over in 1920. The mosque was patterned after Gur-e Amir, the tomb of Tamerlane in Samarkand: a lobed dome on a cylindrical drum with symmetric minarets and an entrance arch.

The Saint Petersburg Mosque is decorated with light-blue tiles with sayings from Koran and granite walls on the outside, but the inside decoration, according to the canons, is quite modest, with the exception of a large patterned handmade carpet – a gift of Emir of Bokhara.
