Batumi Mosque, also known as the Orta Jame Mosque, is a historic place of worship built in the late 19th century during Ottoman rule. Its architecture features a distinctive wooden minaret and a simple yet elegant prayer hall with intricate calligraphy. The mosque remains active, serving Batumi's Muslim community, and welcomes respectful visitors outside prayer times. The quiet courtyard offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets, and the mosque's location near the Batumi Bazaar makes it a convenient stop for those exploring the old town.
