Juma Mosque

The Juma Mosque in Ordubad was built in the 17th century and is one of the city's symbols. Its architecture features beautiful details, such as green and blue tile inlays on the entrance doors. Above the main entrance to the mosque, one can see an inscription mentioning the name of Shah Abbas I, who in 1607/08 granted tax immunity to the city of Ordubad. This gesture was made at the initiative of Hatembey Ordubadi, who was the chief vizier of Abbas I and earned the title "Etemad-al-doleh". All of this makes the Juma Mosque not only a place of worship but also a historical monument preserving the memory of important events in the city's life.
