Juma Masjidi Mosque
A deep, monastic calm pervades this Friday mosque, providing a cool, dim, almost subterranean retreat from the bright desert heat.
The prayer hall of the late 18th-century Juma Mosque in Khiva. Its design — which features more than 200 elm or other wood columns, over two dozen of which date back to either the 10th or 16th century — differs from those of most open-air mosques of the region, creating a more secluded environment for worship.Credit.
