📍 Coords and Plus Code

The mosque of Gulebi village stands right by Keda. A jame, as a mosque is called in Adjara, is found in almost every sizeable village of these mountains: Muslim communities have lived here for a long time, and a village mosque is as much a part of daily life as a church in the next valley.

Keda lies in the gorge of the Adjaristsqali, on the road running from Batumi into the mountains. The village of Gulebi adjoins the town closely, and its centre is less than a kilometre away.

The usual mosque etiquette applies: shoes are taken off at the entrance, clothing is modest, women cover their heads, and the hall is not entered during prayer. Prayer times are best checked with the community.

    Древняя мечеть в Гулеби. На деревянных столбах изображен борджгали — грузинский символ солнца и вечности. Мечеть была повреждена в результате пожара и сейчас не функционирует. Она обладает красивым декором, включая расписанный михраб и минбар. Рядом находится небольшое кладбище с надгробиями в османском стиле. Горная Аджария известна своими историческими деревянными мечетями, большинство из которых построены в XVIII–XIX веках из местной древесины и сочетают исламские и грузинские мотивы.

    I traveled from China and drove for a few hours to reach this mosque. It isn’t used frequently, but it doesn’t seem abandoned since I saw books and prayer items called "Tasbiha" inside. The mosque features beautiful wooden carvings, showcasing the artistry of the Azhar and Raz people. I really hope the local Muslim community will take care of this place and help preserve these valuable artistic treasures.

    На жаль, після пожежі це місце залишилось занедбаним і продовжує руйнуватись...

    Мечеть закрыта, внутри много мусора и строительных материалов.

    A stunning mosque, MashaAllah. Although it is not currently functioning as a mosque, you can still go inside to see it.

    The inscription on the rock conveys that God, the Lord, is the only constant, and that everyone eventually passes away. Thank God for this truth.
