Lala Tulpan ('Tulip in Bloom') in Ufa, Russia is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city. It stands out due to its unique architecture that features two 53-meter-tall minarets resembling the petals of a tulip, a flower commonly associated with the region. The mosque was constructed between 1989 and 1990 and officially opened in 1998. It serves as one of the main spiritual centers for the Muslims in the Republic of Bashkortostan, accommodating up to 1,000 worshippers. The mosque also includes an Islamic university, library, and publishing house. Its structure is modern, yet it incorporates traditional Bashkir and Tatar design elements. The gleaming white building is especially beautiful against the blue sky, and at night it's effectively lit, turning it into a radiant fixture of Ufa's skyline. It's not only a place of worship but also a symbol of the peaceful coexistence of different religions in the region.
