Tombul Mosque, located in Shumen, Bulgaria, is the largest mosque in the country and one of the largest in the Balkans. Built in the mid-18th century, between 1740 and 1744, it stands as a significant example of Ottoman architecture. The mosque features a central dome, surrounded by smaller domes and semi-domes, and is adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns. Its spacious courtyard is enclosed by a series of arcades, and the mosque's minaret, rising to a height of 40 meters, is a prominent feature of the Shumen skyline.
