Its story
The Uzun Şeyh Mosque is one of Taşkent's oldest buildings, built in the first quarter of the 16th century. A single-balcony minaret was later added to the nearly square rectangular building. Its main walls were at one time demolished and rebuilt, and in a fire in the 2000s all its wooden elements burned. The mosque has been restored by the Konya Regional Directorate of Foundations. In the district center, on a rock overlooking the Taşeli Plateau, it can be visited together with the nearby Çibi Bridge and Ballar Fountain.
