Blue Mosque

If you are near, you should visit. It’s not the most impressive monument, but it’s beautiful enough. But I would not come here from another side of the city. The surrounding garden can use some care though, it looked like it was last repaired 15 years ago. P.S. The mosque is a bit hidden: you need to dive into one of the alleyways to reach it.

The Yerevan Blue Mosque welcomes guests with luxurious decorations. The entrance is richly decorated with colorful mosaics and ornaments. Once inside, you will find yourself on a neat patio, surrounded by a garden with mulberry and apricot trees and rose bushes. The complex also includes a gallery with several rooms, an administrative office of the Imam of the mosque, the police room, a kitchen, a first-aid post, and classrooms. Passing the blooming green garden, you will get to the main building. Inside there is a prayer hall. The floor is covered with carpets, a gilded chandelier sparkles under the ceiling, and the stained-glass windows are decorated with various beautiful patterns. There are sound speakers for broadcasting prayers as well in the prayer hall. The name of the mosque is derived from the color of the dome, which attracts attention with bright, rich turquoise tones. It is decorated with fascinating paintings. In addition, there is a minaret decorated with patterned brickwork. Three other minarets, built originally for the mosque, were demolished during Soviet rule. The Blue Mosque has its own library, which is open to every visitor. Here you can find a unique collection of Iranian paintings as well. The collection of the library also includes photographs of the mosque in different years.

We visited here on a Monday and as the only remaining mosque in Yerevan it’s definitely something to see. The entry is free, and accessible with stairs into the compound. With the large gardens and the mosaic tiles of the mosque frontage and dome, it’s worthwhile taking a look just to see it. The mosque itself is open to visitors with the traditional men and women entrances. The carpets and tapestries are colourful and the mosque itself is cool in the heat of the day. The Iranian artefact display is nice to see showing some history. There’s a little store for Iranian products and trinkets to purchase if you like. Overall, something you should see as it is the only mosque remaining in Yerevan and open to visitors to take a glimpse into the Muslim world.

Worth the visit - it’s free, won’t take much of your time and is along the way. Only active mosque in Armenia which is interesting. Beautiful facade but not much else after you enter.

A beautifully restored mosque — in fact, the only mosque in Yerevan. I think it’s definitely worth a visit! They also have some lovely local handicraft shops on-site

The only mosque in Yerevan is very pretty, though the outside much more so than the inside. As with most mosques, it is free to visit, and it's well worth a stop.

Mosque was closed and 1 or 2 private guide was there to describe something with a fees. They greeted is with "Selam alaikum". Mosque compound was very cleaned and tidy. Not very welcoming place but inside environment with so many trees and flowers. Male and female toilet available inside the mosque compound. As it was a weekday morning, merely 10 people was there. As it is very near to Republic square, wlking distance from almost most of the city area. There is no ticket to go inside.

Only mosque in Yerevan. Reconstruction was funded by the Iranians. It's a pretty interesting place as it's a complex rather than just a single building. There is a small museum, a shop with Iranian items for sale and the mosque itself. It was empty when I went and open to non muslims. There is a nice older lady offering tours on the history of the place.
