Derbent Mosque

關於

The Juma Mosque of Derbent is a Shi'ite Friday mosque and madrasa in the center of Old Derbent in the Republic of Dagestan in present-day Russia. The mosque was constructed by Iranians before the separation of Derbent from Iran as result of Treaty of Gulistan after the Russo-Persian War (Russian: Дербентская Джума-мечеть). Completed c. 734 CE, it is the oldest mosque in Russia and the CIS. Despite its age, the mosque is well-preserved and part of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation. The Juma Mosque is part of the Old Derbent UNESCO World Heritage Site.
