Juma Mosque stands in the center of Quba. Built in the 19th century, it is known for its octagonal main hall of red brick and its large dome. The interior is spacious, with simple painted decoration. It is Quba's most representative religious building and the site of Friday prayers for locals. The old town around it retains the layout of the Khanate era. You can stroll past carpet workshops (Quba carpets are one of Azerbaijan's best-known carpet styles), apple stalls, and tea houses, then walk across the river to Red Village. Visitors may enter outside prayer times. Women should cover their hair and wear long sleeves and a long skirt, and everyone should remove their shoes before entering the prayer hall.
