Lyalya Tulpan
Cathedral mosque Lala Tulpan is one of the most
famous mosques in Russia. Landmark attracts
attention not only with its unusual name but also the
original appearance: the main building of the mosque
embodies the image of a huge red Tulip, and two
octagonal minarets resemble yet unopened flowers.
The image of the Tulip is widely spread in Muslim
culture, because the Arabic spelling of the word
"Tulip" is very similar to the word "Allah". The mosque
Lala Tulpan impresses with its beauty not only
outside but also inside. This is one of the hottest
tourist spots in Ufa.
