Blue Mosque (Կապույտ մզկիթ)
The Blue or Persian Mosque got its name because of the color of the dome cladding. The building, erected by the order of the Turkic Khan of Erivan Huseynali Khan Qajar in 1766, is today the only Muslim cathedral in Armenia. In Soviet times, the mosque was turned into a museum of Yerevan, and then into a planetarium. Today it is one of the cultural centers of the Iranian community of Armenia and a functioning mosque.
