Juma Mosque of Ganja (
Shah Abbas the Great
during his reign.
In 1776, two minarets were attached to the mosque. The mosque was built of red brick, which was traditional for Ganja. There was functioned a
Azerbaijani poet and scientist Mirza Shafi Vazeh
taught at that time.
In 2008, the building of the mosque was totally reconstructed. Old Russian bonds put into an envelope had been found during the reconstruction.[1] This finding helped to draw out a conclusion that the last construction works had been held in 1910, but not in the end of the 18th century, during the Javad Khan’s reign, as it was considered earlier.
