The Juma Mosque, or Friday Mosque, stands in Baku's Old City, Icheri Sheher. The article names no architect. The first mosque on the site, called the Jame Mosque, dates to the 12th century and was built in stages. An inscription records that Amir Sharaf al-Din Mahmud ordered its restoration in 1309 or 1310. A minaret supported by stalactites was added to the northern wall in 1437.
The current mosque was built in 1899 on the remains of the Jame Mosque, funded by a Baku merchant and philanthropist. The article spells his name two ways, as Haji Sheikhali Agha Dadashov and Haji Shikhlali Dadashov. It has a square worship hall with four central columns and a small dome.
It served as a carpet museum in the Soviet period and returned to mosque use in the 1990s. A 2008 restoration renovated the building. The article says some scientists believe it stands on a fire temple, but it cites no source.
