Dzhumaya Mosque
Джумая джамия
One of the oldest mosques in the Balkans, an Ottoman building from the 14th to 15th centuries, with nine domes and a minaret of alternating brick and stone.
The Dzhumaya Mosque was founded in the late 14th century, after the Ottoman conquest. The current building largely dates from a reconstruction in the time of Sultan Murad II in the 15th century. It is known for its nine lead-covered domes and a minaret of alternating red brick and white stone. Inside, 19th-century floral murals have been preserved. It stands beside the main street and the Roman Stadium. Visitors may enter free of charge outside prayer times. Shoes must be removed, and women should cover their hair. An old teahouse next to the mosque serves Turkish coffee and desserts.
