This mosque has survived the turbulent history of Plovdiv and the inside is quite nice. The ceiling has been painted with nice murals and it is a friendly area next to the stadium.
Once you enter this mosque that is bang in the middle of the pedestrian street, you are transported into a different world. I was all by myself, and it was very quiet and serene. The ceiling of the various domes were painted in very interesting styles. It really amazes me that a religion that is so steeped in mysticism (think Sufi) has become the breeding ground for certain insane elements who are hell bent on hijacking it to serve their ulterior motives.
It is a standard meeting spot in the heart of Plovdiv. I just don't like it when they play their religious chants every day
Next to anctient Philippopolis, quite big Mosque in multicultural Plovidiv. Location (close to Orthodox church and Roman times arena) and fact that it was church before somehow represents complicated Balkan history.
We just had time to see outside of the building; but we really liked the view of the mosque.A place to see.
it looks very good at photos. also i like the cafe at down floor. A good place for breakfast snack and for desert. there are turkish food culture produccts.
Djumaya Mosque or Cuma Camii is one of the rare monumental buildings in Plovdiv which has been left from Ottoman era in and they restored it very well. It is nice to sit and examine the decorations in the silent environment of the mosque.
Beautiful! A must visit. Great architecture and well restorated.Has a nice Imam, who told us a lot about the history of the mosque and the muslim history of town.
Been there while there was a great art project with mirros spread all over the floor, the space was doubled. It worth visiting and feeling the past years in the air.
While it is not the biggest, it is claimed to be the most beautiful. Recently renovated, the mosque is a model for Ottoman art, though it includes Byzantium influences.
