Molla-Mustafa Jami Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Bakhchysarai, Russia.

Molla-Mustafa Jami Mosque is a stone structure in Bakhchysarai with a single minaret and displays characteristic elements of Ottoman architecture in both its exterior and interior spaces. The building showcases the traditional design features typical of Islamic places of worship from this period.

The mosque was built in the 18th century, when Bakhchysarai was the capital of the Crimean Khanate; Russian sources date its construction to the 17th century. In 1888 the congregation replaced the roof, as recorded in a Taurida Governorate order of 5 November 1890. Correspondence between the governorate's First and Construction departments mentions a maktab school attached to the mosque. It is listed as a cultural heritage site of the Republic of Crimea and reopened in January 2012 after renovation.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Muslim community of Bakhchysarai, where people come together for daily worship and to celebrate Islamic holidays. It remains an active spiritual center that anchors the religious life of the region.

The mosque is an active place of worship, so visitors should dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering the prayer hall; women cover their heads. Time your visit outside the five daily prayers. The building stands in Bakhchysarai, within walking distance of the Khan's Palace, and reopened for worship in January 2012 after renovations.

The 1890 correspondence between the First and Construction Departments of the Taurida Governorate records that the mosque's roof was re-covered by its own parishioners in 1888. The same file notes that a maktab school may have operated inside the mosque, so the building served both prayer and teaching.
