Kul Sharif Mosque
Visit the mosque for its architecture and place in Kazan's contemporary religious landscape. Check visitor arrangements before entering this active place of worship.
Kul Sharif gives Islamic architecture a prominent place within the Kremlin ensemble. It is a distinct religious destination within the wider citadel, rather than another entrance to the grounds. Looking at the mosque alongside neighboring historic buildings helps explain how Kazan presents its Tatar and Russian identities in a shared urban setting.
