This is quite a new mosque. The old mosque, which dated from 1890, was destroyed by fire in 1987. Building of this new mosque started in 1993 and it was completed in 1999.
Between 2010 and 2011 the mosque was renovated and all the domes were gilded.
Almaty lies in the northern foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountain range, which can be seen here.
The mosque lies central on Pushkin street 16, in Almaty.
Also in the photo is the Almaty Television Tower, or simply Almaty Tower, a 371.5-metre-high (1,219 ft) steel television tower built between 1975 and 1983.
