About the place

The Khonakhan mosque is one of the older working mosques of Margilan. Its main feature is the open porch on carved wooden columns, typical of Fergana Valley mosques, where worshippers gather in the warm months.

It fits easily into a walk around the centre of Margilan between the silk workshops.
