The Tahtali-Jami Mosque (Crimean Tatar: Tahtalı Cami; Ukrainian: Тахтали Джамі; Russian: Тахталы-Джами; Turkish: Tahtalı Cami) is located in Bakhchysarai, Crimea. In Crimean Tatar, Tahtalı Cami means "wooden mosque."
History
The mosque was built by Beyhan Sultan, a daughter of Selim I Giray, in 1707 or 1713-14. It can be seen from almost any point in the old city. It was constructed using wooden planks, later closed in stone masonry. The building was rebuilt by the local congregation in 1885 and used until it was closed in 1928. In 1989, it was restored and returned to the Muslim community.
