Juma Mosque in Shamakhi, Azerbaijan, is one of the oldest mosques in the Caucasus region, originally built in 743 AD during the reign of the Umayyad Caliphate. The mosque has undergone several restorations due to damage from natural disasters and conflicts, including significant reconstructions in the 19th and 20th centuries. Architecturally, it features a combination of Islamic and local styles, with a large prayer hall divided into three sections, each crowned by a dome.
