Walking around Kazan





This is Albina, the girl who showed me around Kazan, the capital of the Tatarstan Republic, a neighbour district of Nizhny Novgorod. As there is living the tatar people who is of musliman religion, there are a lot of mosquees, one has been (re-)built only few years ago in the very centre, the old fortress (Kreml). It is a very beautiful building and inside there is a nice museum about Islam in Russia. I have also been visiting an other mosquee, which is in real use. And I have been visiting a lot of churches, but the one on the picture, a church in russian barock style, was the one I liked best.
