Mosque Facade - Yerevan's Kond District

Description

The Tepebashi (Thapa Bashi) mosque was built in 1687. This is one of the walls and exterior facades. The interior of the mosque has been converted to multiple small residences. Location: 40.180669333557056, 44.50203843896609 Kond, which means long hill in Armenian, is one of the three original districts of Yerevan, and was formerly known as Tepebashi during the 17th-century Persian rule. Kond was inhabited by Safavid/Qajar Persians, Tatars (Azeris), and Armenians. It’s currently the only remaining district of 3 districts of Yerevan during the Safavid Persian rule. Today, it’s not in good shape and lacks many basic infrastructure that the rest of the neighborhoods of Yerevan have.
