Located in the centre of Plovdiv, the mosque was built in 1363–1364 on the site of the Sveta Petka Tarnovska Cathedral Church after the conquest of Plovdiv by the [[Ottoman army]]. During the reign of [[Sultan Murad I]] in the 15th century the old building was demolished and replaced by the modern-day mosque.<ref name="travel">{{cite web |url=http://bulgariatravel.org/en/object/188/djamiya_djumaya_batak |title=Dzhumaya Mosque - Plovdiv |publisher=bulgariatravel.org |accessdate=22 March 2016 |archive-date=17 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317123800/http://bulgariatravel.org/en/object/188/Djamiya_Djumaya_Batak |url-status=dead }}</ref>
