Ahmadiyya Mosque, Mosque in Akhaltsikhe, Georgia.

The Ahmadiyya Mosque, also called the Hajji Ahmed Pasha Mosque, stands inside Akhaltsikhe Fortress in Akhaltsikhe, Georgia. It is a mid-18th-century stone building with a dome and a minaret of about 15 metres, the same height as the dome. Its thick columns were bound with wide copper hoops, and its walls carry only a few Quranic inscriptions.

The mosque was built in the mid-18th century inside the Akhaltsikhe fortress by Ahmed Pasha, a member of the Jakeli family that ruled Meskheti and the Akhaltsikhe Pashalik and converted to Islam after the Ottoman conquest. Ahmed Pasha, who governed Akhaltsikhe from 1747 to 1758, had an elevated seat placed in the mosque, a privilege reserved for sultans; the Divan in Constantinople condemned him and he took his own life with the sacred cord sent to him. The mosque and its madrasa were restored in the 2011–2012 reconstruction of the fortress.

The mosque is also called the Hajji Ahmed Pasha Mosque after its founder, a member of the Jakeli family that ruled Meskheti and the Akhaltsikhe Pashalik. Ahmed Pasha, governor from 1747 to 1758, had an elevated place built for himself inside, a privilege reserved for sultans. Accused of lèse-majesté, he took his own life with the sacred cord sent to him and was buried in the courtyard, where a tombstone gives the year 1173 AH.

The mosque stands inside Akhaltsikhe Fortress, entered through its wide gates; the courtyard holds two railed tombs, of Ahmed Pasha and his wife Aisha Khanum. The minaret rises about 15 metres, the same height as the dome. The dome was gilded in the 2011–2012 restoration, though Turkish architectural historians argued it had always been covered in lead sheets.

The minaret attached to the main building rises to the same height as the dome, about 15 metres. During the 2011–2012 restoration the dome was gilded, prompting objections from Turkish architectural historians who noted it had always been covered with lead sheets; Turkey's prime minister dropped the objection in early 2013.
