The Great Mosque
Located in Huajue Lane beside the Drum
Tower, and covering an area of 12,000 square meters, it
is the best-known Islamic Mosque in Xi'an City. It was built
in 742 A.D. (first year of Tian Bao of the Tang Emperor
Xuanzong), being restored in each of the Yuan, Ming and
Qing Dynasties. The distribution of pavilions, halls, towers
and platforms in the mosque is compact and exquisite, blending
the traditional architectural styles of Islam and Han.
