A REMARKABLE DZHUMAYA MOSQUE!

The Friday Mosque or Dzhumaya Mosque (Bulgarian: Джумая джамия) is located in Plovdiv, Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria. Its Turkish name is Hüdavendigâr Camii or Cuma Camii. The mosque is located in the centre of Plovdiv and was built in 1363–1364 on the site of the Sveta Petka Tarnovska Cathedral Church after the conquest of Plovdiv by the Ottoman army. During the reign of Sultan Murad I in the 15th century the old building was demolished and replaced by the modern-day mosque. It was called Ulu Dzhumaya Mosque, or Main Friday Mosque. Dzhumaya mosque (djumaya mosque) in Plovdiv IS just beautiful Its thick walls and the configuration of the prayer hall (divided by 4 columns into 9 squares) are typical of the so called “popular mosques” of the 15th centuries. The mosque is remarkable for its size. Services are still held there. It tends to be locked up outside prayer times, so you’ll have to time your visit carefully if you want to admire the fountain, the floral motifs, and the medallions bearing Koranic texts that adorn its interior. Very peaceful and calming once you enter the beautiful mosque. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport
