The Juma Mosque (Azerbaijani: Cümə məscidi,), also known as the Friday Mosque, is a Shia Islam mosque, located in Baku, Azerbaijan.
An inscription on the mosque mentions that “Amir Sharaf al-Din Mahmud ordered the restoration of this mosque in the month of Rajab 709 AH (1309/1310 CE)”. On the northern wall of the mosque a minaret was erected which a balcony supported by stalactites in the year of 1437. It was built under the Iranian Shirvansahs.
Located in the historic Icheri Sheher, the mosque has been rebuilt several times. The present Friday Mosque was built in 1899 under the financing of Baku philanthropist merchant Haji Shikhlali Dadashov. There are traces of a Zoroastrian temple at the site.
In the cultural life of the medieval region of Shirvan, the cathedral mosque served as a socio-cultural center.
