About the place

The Jami complex was built at the end of the 19th century and brought together a Friday mosque, a madrasa and a minaret. When the earthquake of 1902 flattened most of the city, the madrasa and minaret remained standing.

Today the madrasa building houses the regional museum of history and culture, covering the history and everyday life of the region. The courtyard and the brick minaret are a rare surviving piece of the city's pre-Soviet architecture.
