About the place

This Friday mosque in Namangan was built between 2017 and 2021 to a project by architects from Turkey, near the Afsonalar Vodiysi (Valley of Legends) area. Its grounds cover about four hectares, half of which is a car park, and the mosque and courtyard can hold up to 15,000 people at prayer.

Local histories say a large Silk Road caravanserai with its own mosque stood on this spot in about the 10th century.
