The Blue Mosque is an 18th-century Shia mosque in Yerevan city. It was designated by Huseyn Ali Khan, the khan of the Iranian Erivan Khanate. It is one of the most senior extant facilities in central Yerevan and the most important structure from the city’s Iranian period. It was the biggest of the eight mosques of Yerevan in the 19th century and is today the sole functioning mosque in Armenia.
The mosque was secularized in the 1920s and lodged the History Museum of Yerevan for more than five decades. Following Armenia’s sovereignty, the mosque was refurbished with the support of the Iranian governance and re-started serving as a mosque, serving the Iranians residing in Yerevan.
