About the place
The Sirli Mosque stands on Qoqon Street in Namangan, one of the main religious centres of the Fergana Valley. Its name means mysterious in Uzbek. The original building is dated to the early 20th century; some sources give 1910, while others place it in the 19th century.
A fire destroyed the old mosque in 2002. It was rebuilt between 2002 and 2004 as a building of about 22 by 18 metres with a minaret 15 metres high. It remains a working neighbourhood mosque, so visitors should come outside prayer times and dress modestly.
