The symbol of Kazan is the Kul Sharif Mosque. Kul Sharif is situated in the real heart of the city – the Kazan Kremlin. The mosque was built in 2005 for the 1000th anniversary of Kazan. From the outside, the mosque is decorated with white marble and has four high minarets crowned with turquoise domes.
From the inside, the main dome of Kul Sharif resembles the Kazan hat, like those which Tatar Khans used to wear and which symbolized their power.
The Temple of All Religions is yet another landmark of the city. The one of a kind temple is dedicated to religions of the whole world. The temple’s building was erected in 1994 after artist Ildar Khanov’s project. No services take place in the temple as it is more of a cultural centre and a symbol of all the world’s religions than a functioning church.
The Temple’s architectural ensemble includes a Russian orthodox church, a mosque, a synagogue, and a pagoda. The design of the complex reflects symbolic elements belonging to 16 religions. Inside of the Temple there are exhibition spaces where cultural events and meetings are held. The eclectic style of the Temple and the fascinating concept behind the Temple’s exterior attracts both tourists and Kazan citizens.
The exotic mix of Asian and European cultures is most evident in local cuisine. In Kazan you will find on the dinner table Tatar dishes neighbouring Chinese dumplings. There will be also Uzbekistan and Tajikistan dishes. Tea is very popular in Tatarstan. It is usually served with local honey and dates. In Kazan people also drink sherbet, a Turkish sweet drink made of fruit and honey. You might be confused by excessive sweetness of the local sweets.
In the republic of Tatarstan, eating is surrounded by a strict ceremonial, formed on the basis of Islam ethics and Chinese dinner ceremony.
