Aqmecit

Aqmecit, the White Mosque, stood in the Southern Bug country between the Dnipro and Dniester. Written accounts from the sixteenth century describe a mosque in the steppe, while archaeological evidence points to a settlement of the Golden Horde near the river. The site lay where routes along the Southern Bug met those crossing the steppe from west to east, making it a landmark for travellers as well as a place of settlement.
