Juma Mosque, Turkistan
Жұма мешіті
A 19th-century brick Friday mosque in the reserve, with a small, unpretentious design of wooden columns and a dome, worth a quick look on the way.
This Juma (Friday) Mosque was built in the 19th century and is one of the few late-period buildings preserved in the reserve. Its brick main body is combined with painted wooden columns and wooden doors. It differs from the grand Timurid-era mausoleums and reflects the local building techniques of the Khanate of Kokand period. It stands on the south side of the Yasawi Mausoleum, next to the Khilvet Underground Mosque, so it can be visited on foot while touring the mausoleum complex. Non-Muslims may enter outside prayer times. Visitors must remove their shoes and dress respectfully.
