Boyuk Bazar Mosque
Böyük Bazar məscidi
Lankaran's main mosque, a 19th-century red-brick building with twin minarets beside the old bazaar.
Boyuk Bazar Mosque, also known as the Friday Mosque, was built in the late 19th century from locally made red brick. Its exterior is plain and dignified, and a later renovation added minarets. It is the main place where Lankaran's Muslims gather for Friday prayers. The mosque sits right next to the old bazaar in the city centre, where the surrounding lanes sell citrus, tea, pickles and dried Caspian fish. Non-visitors may enter outside prayer times. Women should cover their heads and wear long skirts or dresses, and shoes must be removed at the entrance.
