## History

The Juma-Jami is the largest mosque of [Crimea](/source/Crimea) and was founded by Khan [Devlet I Giray](/source/Devlet_I_Giray) in 1552. The Khan commissioned [Istanbul](/source/Istanbul) architect [Mimar Sinan](/source/Mimar_Sinan) (1489–1588) to build the mosque.[2] Sinan was the chief [architect](/source/Architect) of the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire). He designed the [Sinan Pasha Mosque](/source/Sinan_Pasha_Mosque_(Istanbul)) and the [Şehzade Mosque](/source/%C5%9Eehzade_Mosque) in Istanbul. Construction of the Juma-Jami Mosque was a long process. At the time, Mimar Sinan was busy with construction of the [Süleymaniye Mosque](/source/S%C3%BCleymaniye_Mosque), in Istanbul, which was also plagued by financial difficulties due to money being spent on a war with [Ivan the Terrible](/source/Ivan_the_Terrible).

The mosque continued to be embellished and improved over time. From 1740 to 1743, the mosque was rebuilt and the main building was restored; from 1758 to 1769, the western facade of the mosque was decorated with paintings.[3]
