Eski Dzhamiya - The Old Mosque

Bulgaria / Stara Zagora / Kazanlak / Otets Paisiy, 19
 mosque, cultural heritage / national heritage, 14th century construction

This is the only active mosque in Kazanlak, and has been declared a cultural monument. The mosque is located on the right bank of the Stara River and since the inscription on the inside door reads Eski Dzhamiya (i.e. old mosque) the older people from the town still know it as the Old Mosque. There is evidence that it was built around 1394 – 1412, but it was renovated in 1690.
