Jumah Mosque
ჯუმა მეჩეთი
A red-brick mosque beside the bathhouse district, where Sunni and Shia worshippers pray in the same hall, reflecting Tbilisi’s tradition of religious diversity.
Jumah Mosque is the only mosque remaining in Tbilisi. It was originally built in the 18th century, and the current building dates from a reconstruction in 1895–1900. Its red-brick walls and minaret cling to the slope beneath Narikala. What makes it special is that Sunni and Shia believers pray in the same prayer hall, a symbol of the city’s religious tolerance. Visitors may enter outside prayer times. Shoes must be removed, and women must cover their hair and wear long clothing. It is a 1-minute walk from the bathhouse district.
