Situated in the heart of the city, it is interesting to note that it was built at the request of Ivan the Terrible, on the ruins of the old Castle of the Khanate of Kazan.

This formerly destroyed attraction reincarnated itself in 2005 to boast as the largest Muslim palace of Worship in Europe.

This incredibly gorgeous structure is a treat to the eyes as well as the heart. The Temple of all Religions was built to signify religious unity with around 16 religions being represented by the monument.
