Entrance half dome of St. Petersburg mosque, Russia

Main entrance of the St. Petersburg mosque which was built 1910-1921 by architect Nikolai Vasilyev resembling the the Gur-e Amir mosque in Samarkand, where the tomb of Tamerlane Sultan is located.

Skylight azure blue ceramic tiles decorate the arch vault of the entrance half dome in perfect stalactites form (called muqarnas in islamic architecture). 

The mosque is located opposite the Peter and Paul Fortress in the city center. It can accomodate 8.000 worshippers and is one of the northernmost mosques in the world. The dome is a near-replica of Gur-e Amir and the rest is actually Northern Art Nouveau popular in St. Petersburg and Finland.
