Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | We are now in Shemakha and the first of the two attractions here is the several centuries old Juma Mosque. This structure is of course a modern reconstruction. The Juma Mosque was built in 743 by Abu Muslim and is considered the oldest one in the Caucasus after the Friday mosque of Derbent (constructed in 734). It was built during the governance of Caliphate's vicar in the Caucasus and Dagestan. The mosque suffered extensive damages on several occasions due to plundering, earthquakes and wars. It was repeatedly repaired, especially after the earthquakes of 1859 and 1887. The most extensive damage was as a result of the devastating earthquake of 1902, after which the Juma Mosque was rebuilt and reconstructed in 1905-1910, by the architect Iosif Ploshko. The white-stone iron-concrete structure with iron domes also suffered as a result of a fire during the March 1918 events. In the Soviet years it was not used for its intended purpose and was repaired only in 1980. It was last reconstructed in 2009. During this reconstruction, the mosque was returned to its original appearance with the preservation of the old structure (side and rear walls, columns of the façade, etc.). In the courtyard of the mosque you can see old photographs of the mosque. (Shemakha (Shamakhi), Azerbaijan, Sept. 2017) |
