Very impressive building!
The Saint Petersburg Mosque was, incidentally, the largest mosque outside the Ottoman Empire in Europe when it opened in 1913!
The dome and minarets in azure blue are characteristic of the cityscape and can be seen from afar. The dome appears very airy and delicate due to its distinctive ribbed structure (from a distance, it looks like a birdcage to me 😂).
Unfortunately, we could not visit the mosque from the inside during our city tour.
