Lala Tulpan (Bashkir: Ләлә-Тюльпан) ("Tulip in Bloom") in Ufa is one of Russia's largest mosques with 53-metre-tall[1] twin minarets. The building can hold up to 1000 worshippers.[2] It was built between 1990 and 1998 to a modernist design by Wakil Davlyatshin. In 2001 Vladimir Putin held a meeting with Talgat Tadzhuddin and other Muslim clerics at the mosque.
