Mosques and Places of Worship
Thanks to a 1000-year history, Kazan has a huge number of architectural and historical landmarks, including churches and mosques. There are certainly more mosques here, over 70. These include the majestic Kul Sharif Mosque within the Kazan Kremlin, the Al-Marjani Mosque built in the mid-18th century, and the oldest surviving Apanaevskaya Mosque (built in 1768).
