Orta Jame Mosque
ორთა ჯამე
A mosque built in 1866 during the Ottoman period, the only mosque in Batumi still in use, with finely painted interiors.
Orta Jame Mosque, meaning 'central mosque,' was built in 1866, when Batumi was still part of the Ottoman Empire. It is the center of the Adjarian Muslim community and is today the only mosque in Batumi still in use. The exterior is simple, while the interior features wooden ceilings and detailed wall paintings. On Friday prayers, many worshippers attend, and the crowd often spills out into the street. Non-Muslim visitors may enter outside prayer times. They should take off their shoes, dress modestly, and women should cover their heads.
