This is a fairly new building. It serves as a prayer hall as well as other services such as early years classes. It is a majestic building and resembles the mountainous Pamir which surrounds Khorog . Must attend the tour as the building will make more sense. ie, The bricks used to build this majestic place came from neighbouring Uzbekistan

Ismail Somoni was a ruler and hero of this region and there are many places named after him in the city. The statue is across from the Parliament buildings, and from teh Rudaki Park and National Library. The statue and park grounds, the map of this empire, gardens, water structures etc are well kept and in good order.
