When it opened in 1913, the St. Petersburg Mosque was, by the way, the largest mosque in Europe outside the Ottoman Empire!
The azure-blue dome and minarets are a defining feature of the cityscape and can be seen from afar. The distinctive fluted structure gives the dome a very airy and delicate appearance (from a distance, it looks like a birdcage to me 😂). Unfortunately, we weren't able to see the mosque inside during our city tour.
