      • The mosque was built in 1996–2005 and opened on 24 June 2005, for the city's millennium.
      • It is named after Sayyid Qolsharif, who died defending Kazan in 1552.
      • Each of the four main minarets is 58 metres tall.
      • It was built mostly with donations: the names of more than 40,000 donors are written in books in the main hall.
      • The carpets were a gift from the Iranian government, and the chandelier, weighing almost two tonnes, was made in the Czech Republic.
      • For visitors there are two viewing balconies above the prayer hall.
