The **Dzhumaya Mosque** ([Bulgarian](/source/Bulgarian_language): Джумая джамия, [lit.](/source/Literal_translation) 'Ulu Dzhumaya Mosque'; [Turkish](/source/Turkish_language): *Hüdavendigâr Camii* or *Cuma Camii*), also known as the **Friday Mosque**, is a [mosque](/source/Mosque) located in [Plovdiv](/source/Plovdiv), in the [Plovdiv Province](/source/Plovdiv_Province) of [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria). 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](/source/Ottoman_army). During the reign of [Sultan Murad I](/source/Sultan_Murad_I) in the 15th century the old building was demolished and replaced by the modern-day mosque.[1]

The large mosque has nine domes and a 33 m × 27 m (108 ft × 89 ft) prayer hall. A [minaret](/source/Minaret) is located at the northeast corner of the main façade. Interior wall paintings date from the late-18th to early-19th centuries.[1]

## Attacks

The mosque was attacked by a mob described as "hundreds of [nationalists](/source/Nationalist), [fascists](/source/Fascist) and [football hooligans](/source/Football_hooligan)"[2] in February 2014.[3][4] 120 were "detained" after the attack[4] and four received minor sentences.[3] The [Grand Mufti](/source/Grand_Mufti) of Bulgaria, Mustafa Haci, characterized the attack as a "[pogrom](/source/Pogrom)."[2]
