About
Tbilisi Mosque (Juma Mosque) is located in Old Tbilisi, below Narikala Fortress. It is currently the only Muslim shrine in the city. The first Sunni mosque was built here in 1723-1735 by the Ottomans. It was destroyed by the Persians in the 1740s. In 1846-1851, the building was rebuilt by architect Giovanni Scudieri, but by the end of the 19th century, in 1895, Baku-based millionaire and philanthropist Hajizinelabdin Tagiyev had completely renovated the mosque, significantly altering its eastern part. The brick building stands on a steep slope. The windows of the longitudinal walls are decorated with arches. In its architecture the neo-Gothic and Islamic elements are harmoniously combined. At the gate there is an octagonal minaret, which attracts attention from afar. The beautiful mosaic facade of the building attracts a lot of attention and attracts a lot of visitors. Tbilisi Mosque is Sunni, but today it serves both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

The place is situated on top of a hill. You will have tiring legs by the time you get here. Enjoy the walk!

Itself - nothing special, but the area around - Abanotubani - just super! In general, a very unusual and picturesque location and a rivulet flowing near the sulfur baths and a number and if a bit of a mosque to go directly to the city of Falls.

I saw the Jumah Mosque on my first night in Tbilisi while exploring the Sulphur Baths Area in the Old Town. Since I am not a Muslim I did not bother to go near the building but just took photos from a distance.

A small well cared for Mosque in a not easily accessible location. Best reached by walking up to the "bridge of locks" and taking a metal staircase up to the higher street level. If you are Muslim and wish to do religious duties this is the only Mosque in Tbilisi I was told. For folks who are members of other religions if you are a bit fortunate on timing (there are no services being conducted) you can go inside and view the interior. Worth a short visit.

The mosque is pretty and there are some tea houses nearby but that's about it. That whole block feels kind of Turkish so if you're looking for an authentic Georgian experience, this corner would probably not be part of my itinerary.

The mosque is under renovation, prayers have been shifted to a nearby mosque, which is more than 150 yrs old... This is the Only mosque in Tbilisi for both, Sunni & Shia sects... It was pleasure to see believers of both the sects offering salah behind the same Imam... Masha Allah...!!

very nice place, with famous bathes with natural warm waters in front of the Mosque... it is located in the heart of the old city and what is most amazing is that you can find a Synagogue, Georgian Orthodox Church and Armenian one in this small spot; it clearly indicates that Tbilisi has always been tolerant to every faith...

This is the only mosque in Tbilisi. It marks the presence of Arab-Iranian presence in the area. Simple but magnificent architecture.

This is a beautiful fifteen-century Masjid (mosque) on the hill, below Narikala Fortress & National Botanical Garden of Tbilisi city and above the Sulfur baths.
I think it is the only working Masjid to pray in Tbilisi, at least it was the only one I was able to find online.
