TBILISI MOSQUE
This mosque, a symbol of tolerance, is the only Sunni mosque and welcomes all faiths.
She's a "survivor". This mosque is the only one spared from the destructive madness of Stalin's damned soul, Beria, during the purges of the 1930s. In the old days, there were dozens of them. It is the only Sunni mosque. The Persian conquerors were Sunni. The centre of Georgian Islam, it is the headquarters of the Azeri - traditionally Shiite - community. Built under the Ottoman occupation, between 1723 and 1735, regularly destroyed, its current appearance dates from the end of the 19th century. A symbol of tolerance, it welcomes all faiths.
