Kebir-Jami Mosque, Simferopol, Ottoman mosque in Old town Ak-Mechet, Simferopol, Ukraine.

The Kebir-Jami Mosque features a single dome, minaret, and white chalk stone walls that define its traditional Ottoman architectural design.

Built in 1508 by architect Abdurrahman-bek-Ali for Khan Meñli I Giray, the mosque represents the oldest existing structure in Simferopol.

The mosque functions as the primary Friday prayer location and houses the Spiritual Direction of Muslims along with a madrasah for education.

The religious complex maintains a capacity of 200 worshippers and includes dedicated spaces for prayer, education, and a Crimean Tatar literature library.

After serving as a book-cover workshop following World War II, the mosque underwent complete restoration in 1993 to resume religious services.
