O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Only 40% of this 18th-century mosque's original tilework survives today, with the vivid blue hues covering the dome created from locally sourced minerals. The mosque fell into disuse for decades during the Soviet era before reopening in the 1990s as a cultural center for Yerevan's small Iranian community.
Istaknuto: Step inside and look up: the dome's interior is a kaleidoscope of over 4,000 handmade ceramic tiles, each painted with intricate geometric patterns in deep cobalt and turquoise. On Friday mornings, the echoing call to prayer mixes with the sounds of Persian tea being poured in the courtyard, a sensory time capsule that feels worlds away from the city beyond the walls.
Insajderski saveti
- Walk around the back of the main building to see the faded 19th-century Persian tile panels that are eroding in the open air, a poignant contrast to the restored front facade.
- The best photo angle is from across the street at the Tufenkian Old Yerevan restaurant terrace, where you can capture the full dome against the sky.
- Bring your own scarf if you want to enter the prayer hall; communal ones are available but limited.
- Skip the small souvenir shop inside and instead buy dried fruits and spices from the Iranian grocery store two blocks north on Pushkin Street.

Radio sam ove ture u desetinama gradova i bile su vrhunac skoro svakog putovanja. Ako posećujete Yerevan, Armenia, uradite to prvog dana. Zahvalićete mi kasnije.
