Djuma Mosque

This mosque is the oldest of the 157 mosques in modern Tashkent and the third largest mosque in Uzbekistan after the Bibi-Khanum Mosque in Samarkand and Poi-Kalyan in Bukhara. From the 15th century to the present, the mosque bears the name of one of the Sufi leaders of the Eastern Middle Ages - Khoja Akhrar Vali, who presented the city with a building built on the foundations of the former Djuma Mosque (Djuma Mosque - Friday Mosque) in 1451.
