Copyright © 2011 - All rights reserved - This is but one of many mosques from the ancient times of the Tatars and the Muslim population of Russia. This old mosque is one of the nicest we have seen. The tile work is exquisite. I was informed by my British friend, Philip Larmett who lived in St. Petersburg for two years, that this mosque, located at the north end of Troistky bridge is really not that old: the whole district (Petrograsdkaya) was built only about 120 years ago.
