The Dzhumaya Mosque is a Muslim shrine located in the center of Plovdiv, in the front part of the ancient ruins of the stadium. The mosque was built soon after the city was conquered by the Turks (1363-1364), in place of the St. Petka of Tarnovo Cathderal. During the reign of sultan Murad II the mosque was fully restored to its current appearance.
It is built in a rectangular shape with nine lead covered domes. The prayer room is 33 by 27 meters squared. In the northeast corner rise decorated minarets, built from red bricks. The interior of the mosque is filled with rich artwork depicting twigs, flowers, and wreaths, and quotes from the Koran. The frescoes are thought to date back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Today, the Dzhumaya Mosque is an active Muslim temple, open not only to worshippers but also to visitors. The mosque is a witness to the national respect for other cultures and religious tolerance.
