Sharafbay Mosque
Sharafbay Mosque

In the mid-19th century, a wealthy Tatar entrepreneur named Sharafbay (Sharafiddin Bay) built a mosque, which survives today in a reduced form: when Farabi Street was widened in the 1970s, the minaret and part of the fence were demolished.

Currently, the building remains, complete with a dome, plastered interior, and an aiwan with a painted ceiling on carved columns and carved ornamentation on the walls.

The building houses the Kushtut Gallery, featuring exhibits on calligraphy and old handwritten manuscripts.

During the reconstruction of the aiwan, part of the ceiling and columns were left in their original form.
