Dzhumaya Mosque

Dzhumaya Mosque is located in the centre of Plovdiv a province of Bulgaria 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. The mosque is large, with nine domes and a 33 m × 27 m (108 ft × 89 ft) prayer hall. There is a minaret at the northeast corner of the main façade. The mosque was attacked by mob in February 2014.
