Hissar - Sangin Mosque


 
 

Another interesting landmark of Hissar Reserve is the domed Sangin Mosque (12th -16th centuries). Its name is translated as "made of stone". It is due to the fact that half of its walls were made of stone. We can only marvel at the builders' inventiveness. They walled four ceramic jugs without bottoms under the Mosque's dome. As a result they improved the acoustic properties which were very important for prayers and sermons.
