Juma Mosque of Sheki
Şəki Cümə məscidi
A 19th-century Friday mosque in the western Old Town. Its tall red-brick minaret is one of the landmarks of Sheki's skyline.
The Juma Mosque was built in the 19th century. Its tall minaret, built of red brick, contrasts with the surrounding stone houses and makes it a landmark of the western Old Town. The mosque is still in use, and visitors may go inside outside prayer times. Women should cover their hair and wear long clothing. Nearby are small historic sites such as the restored Underground Bath, which are worth a look on the way. It is about 1 km from the Upper Caravanserai and can be reached on foot along the main street.
