<b>Tatar Square</b> in Minsk is a historic and cultural site located within the boundaries of Tatar, Griboedov, and Ignatenko Streets. This area was settled by Muslims since the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was a Tatar cemetery here, and today it is a cozy square that attracts visitors with its unique atmosphere.

The square is famous for its rich history and is one of the few places where you can feel the spirit of old Minsk. In 2015, a new mosque was opened here, with construction starting in 2004. This mosque succeeded the first stone mosque in Minsk, built in 1901 on the site of the modern "Yubileinaya" hotel.

Visitors to the square can see the preserved grave of H.M. Aleksandrovich, a participant in the Minsk anti-fascist underground, reminding them of the importance of this place in the city's history. A promenade zone runs along the square, perfect for leisurely walks and relaxation.

<b>Tatar Square</b> in Minsk is a place where history and modernity, culture and religion harmoniously blend. It is an ideal spot for those who want to learn more about the Muslim heritage of the capital and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this corner of the city.
