Nurullah mosque

"Yunusovskaya", "Seventh Cathedral" and "Senna" - so called in different years the mosque of Nurulla, built on the finances of the Yunusov brothers in the middle of the 19th century.
Having a very traditional structure, calling it the same as others, simply does not turn the language.

This mosque has its own unique character. There's a crescent at the top of the tower. On the minaret, consisting of three tiers, a sharp roof is visible.

The architect tried to take into account the importance of the manners of different peoples and it turned out a mixture of styles of Russians, Tatars and Arabs.

The architecture of the Nurullah mosque is original. The walls resemble the impregnable barriers of the fortress. The prayer hall is decorated in blue tones.

Her fate is not easy. 1929, a decree was issued to close the mosque and dismantle the minaret. The decree was executed and until 1992 the building was used as a residential house and office, in 1995 the minaret was restored, the mosque began to receive parishioners.
