Kosonsoy, Italy
The Kosonsoy Congregational Mosque (Uzbek: Kosonsoy Jome masjidi) is a historical monument (18th century) in Namangan, Uzbekistan. It is built on a courtyard surrounded by a wall. It can be entered through a portal with a dome on the south side, or through a carved door on the west side that leads t
o a rectangular mosque (28.6 x 10.8 m). The west wall has a three-niche mihrab. The external dome is supported by four arches (projecting from the corners). The four arches are based on four side wings, which are themselves supported by separate or wall-attached wooden columns. The building is mainly decorated with two colors (white and blue). The portal is simple, but elegant, with a row of small arches on the upper part, ending with a cornice, and surrounded by flat arches. The portal has a dome on each corner. In 1993, a veranda, classrooms and other additional buildings were constructed. The Kosonsoy Jome Mosque is the only prayer-style building in the Fergana Valley, and reflects the skill of local architects in construction.
