The book presents the three preserved mosques in Plovdiv — Dzhumaya Mosque, Imaret Mosque and Tashkopryu Mosque. The Dzhumaya Mosque and Imaret Mosque are remarkable examples of the early Ottoman cult architecture and they are the most representative monuments of the Ottoman cultural and historical heritage in the city. They are the first mosques and the first Ottoman buildings built after the fall of the city under Ottoman rule (end of 14th century). The Tashkopryu Mosque, which is located near the stone bridge of the Maritsa River, where its name comes, was built between 1829—1830.
