Kebir-Jami Mosque - the Main Spiritual Center of Muslims in Crimea

The building of the Kebir-Jami Mosque is the oldest in Simferopol, and today serves as the main operating mosque of Crimea. A small mosque was built of Crimean shell rock and plastered with snow-white limestone. Near there is a traditional minaret, also built of shell rock, but untreated. 

According to the inscription on the wall of the Kebir-Jami Mosque, it was built by Hadji Abdurahim-Bek in 1508, but a sign plate found in the 1990s indicates another date of construction, that is 1502. The temple was rebuilt many times. The mosque acquired its present appearance after the reconstruction in 1907. The Kebir-Jami Mosque is open to the public. The main thing is to observe the rules: take off shoes at entrance, be in a headscarf (women only) and ask permission to take photographs.
