Jami Mosque (Andijan)
Andijon
The Jami Mosque Complex in Andijan, Uzbekistan, is a remarkable architectural monument dating back to the late 19th century. The complex spans 1.5 hectares and includes a mosque, madrasa, and a 32-meter tall minaret, the tallest in the Fergana Valley. The madrasa features a U-shaped open-air design with traditional blue and green mosaics and intricate geometric latticework, reflecting the regional style. The mosque itself has a courtyard with three sides lined by arched, domed iwans and five entrances, providing access from multiple directions. The minaret, located within the courtyard, is notable for its octagonal gallery and decorative domes crowned with a crescent moon. The complex also hosts the Andijon Region Literary and Art Museum, enriching its cultural significance. Originally constructed between 1883 and 1890 with contributions from notable architects such as Isaxon and Yusufali Musayev, the complex has undergone renovations following earthquake damage in 1902 and later restorations in the 1970s and late 1990s. A new mosque building, completed in 2018, expands capacity to over 15,000 worshippers and features twin 54-meter minarets and an 18-meter diameter dome, maintaining the traditional four-iwan architectural style. This living monument remains a vibrant center for worship and cultural heritage, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
