Juma Mosque of Ganja, Safavid architecture mosque in Ganja, Azerbaijan
The Juma Mosque features a red brick exterior with two minarets, displaying traditional architectural elements of the Aran construction school.
Shah Abbas I commissioned the construction of this religious edifice in 1606, with additional minarets installed in 1776 to enhance the structure.
The mosque complex included a madrasah where Mirza Shafi Vazeh, an Azerbaijani intellectual, taught students and shared his knowledge.
Located on Shah Ismayil Khatai Avenue in central Ganja, the mosque welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 22:00 for prayers and tours.
Two stone inscriptions remain above the entrance gate, with text in Arabic and Persian languages documenting the mosque's establishment.
