Abbas Mirza Mosque, Yerevan
Abbas Mirza Mosque
The Abbas Mirza Mosque was a 17th-century Shia mosque in Yerevan. While the structure no longer stands, the site serves as a historical marker for travelers interested in the city's Islamic architectural heritage and the religious evolution of the region. Visiting this location allows you to trace the remnants of a vanished cultural layer of the city.
Getting There
The site is located within the central urban area of Yerevan. From the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes depending on your starting point.
Duration of Visit
Because the mosque is no longer an intact building, visitors generally spend 20 to 30 minutes at the site to orient themselves and read available historical markers.
When to Visit
The site is an outdoor urban location, making it accessible throughout the year. To avoid the midday heat during the summer months, morning or late afternoon visits are recommended. It does not typically experience the heavy crowds found at the city's primary museums.
