Ukkosh Mosque
Ukkosh Mosque

The mosque was built in the 15th century near the grave of the righteous Ukkosh on the ancient Samarkand Darvaza Street. According to other sources, the mosque contains a hair of the Naqshbandi saint Ikkash or Akkosh (Ukkosh).

There was once a water source there, a spring visited by numerous pilgrims.

During Soviet times, the mosque stood dilapidated. It was reconstructed after independence, but almost nothing remains of its former appearance. It is separated from the new road by nine-story buildings.
