Ak-Mosque
In 1657, during the rule of Anush Khan, a mosque began to be built. Later, it was updated and finished work only in 1838-1842. A small quarter mosque is part of a complex that is situated on the east side of the gate of Ichan-Kala.
On the external walls of the Ak-mosque were carved the names of architects and decorators who worked on the building. These are Kalandar Adin with his son and Nur Mukhammad with his son Sayyid.
