Djumaya Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Central District, Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

The mosque features nine domes atop its structure, with a prominent minaret at the northeast corner of the main façade measuring 33 meters in length.

Built between 1363 and 1364, the mosque replaced the Sveta Petka Tarnovska Cathedral Church after Ottoman forces gained control of Plovdiv.

The interior walls display painted decorations from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, representing Ottoman artistic traditions in religious architecture.

The building includes separate prayer sections for men and women, with designated areas for ablution rituals and necessary facilities.

In February 2014, the mosque endured an attack that resulted in the detention of 120 people and led to increased security measures.
