Old Mosque, Ottoman-era mosque and museum in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria.
The Old Mosque combines traditional Ottoman design elements with a rectangular prayer hall and houses archaeological collections from various periods.
Construction of the mosque began in 1451 under grand vizier Veli Mahmud Pasha and continued until 1494, despite his death in 1474.
The building transformed from a religious structure to the National Archaeological Museum in 1893, preserving both Islamic architecture and Bulgarian artifacts.
Visitors need to wear appropriate clothing when entering the building, and guided tours explain both the religious and archaeological aspects.
The structure holds dual significance as the oldest remaining mosque in Stara Zagora and the main repository of local archaeological discoveries.
