The city's architecture is a combination of different styles and traditions.

In addition to traditional churches, the city also has beautiful modern buildings. The largest of these is the Qolsharif complex, a center for Muslim celebrations. Thousands of people gather here to pray during this time. In its early days, the complex was envisioned as a cornerstone of Kazan's architectural landscape. The complex includes a main mosque building and other buildings including a library, publishing house, and Imam's office. архитектура казани

In the medieval era, the main mosque of Kazan was the Kul Sharif Mosque. This monumental edifice was surrounded by eight minarets and was decorated with Bolgar stone carving. It is now the Blagoveshchensky Cathedral in the Kazan Kremlin. This cathedral was designed by Postnik Yakovlev (1556-62), who was also responsible for the church of St Basil on the Red Square in Moscow.

The city's pedestrian streets were lined with colorful flower displays, cafes, and bars. The central square, called the "Tarstan" square, was built in the 1820s. It was built on the site of a swamp and is the highest structure in Kazan. The bell tower of the Epiphany Cathedral is the main attraction of Bauman Street. It is about 72 metres high and constructed from bricks in a blend of early 20th-century Old Russian motifs. The upper tiers feature elaborate patterns.
