The Tahtali-Jami Mosque (Russian: Тахталы-Джами, Ukrainian: Тахтали Джамі, Crimean Tatar: Tahtalı Cami, Turkish: Tahtalı Cami) is located in Bakhchisaray, Crimea. In Crimean Tatar: Tahtalı Cami means "wooden mosque".
History[edit]
The mosque was built in 1707 by Khan Sultan Beck who married the daughter of Selim I Giray. It is the oldest mosque in the city and can be seen from almost any point of Bakhchisaray. It was originally constructed with wooden planks which were later closed in by stone blocks and masonry walls. The roof of the mosque is covered with clay tiles.

Notes[edit]
- ^ This place is located on the Crimean peninsula, which is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine, but since 2014 under Russian occupation. According to the administrative-territorial division of Ukraine, there are the Ukrainian divisions (the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city with special status of Sevastopol) located on the peninsula. Russia claims these as federal subjects of the Russian Federation (the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol).
