An equally significant religious monument is Al-Quba Mosque. If you believe a legend, the prophet Muhammad himself took part in the construction of this mosque. Despite the fact that the mosque was repeatedly rebuilt and reconstructed, it is also considered one of the oldest in the world. In recent years, the religious monument has also turned into a multi-purpose cultural and community center. Its prayer hall is now located on the first floor of the building. The ground floor is occupied by trade pavilions and several offices of local companies. The mosque building is of great architectural value too. Valuable types of marble and ornamental stone were used for its decoration.
It is also worth noting the wonderful Masjid al-Qiblatain. The main feature of this mosque is the presence of two mihrabs. One of them is turned to Jerusalem, and the other to Mecca. According to historical data, the opening of this mosque took place in the year 623. Many unique decorations and traditional elements have been preserved in the hall of the classical Islamic structure.
