 | | Already during the reign of the first ruler of Kasimov, Khan Kasim, the white-stone Old Mosque (1476, ploshchad' Pobedy, 9) was built. |
 | | Next to the Old Mosque stands Tekie of Shakh-Ali (1555, ploshchad' Pobedy) — the mausoleum of Khan Shakh-Ali, where the khan himself and some of his relatives are buried. |
 | | Among them — masterpieces of local architect Ivan Sergeevich Gagin (1767-1844), who in the beginning of 19th century was responsible for rearrangement of the town: trading arcades, building of the municipal administration, building of the female high-school, and Alyanchikov Family House, which currently hosts the Regional museum. |
