From the history of the mosques and churches of Akkerman in the middle of the XVII – first half of the XIX century

Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

The article consists of two parts devoted to mosques and Christian churches of the fortress and the city of Akkerman (modern Belgorod-Dnistrovsky, Odessa region, Ukraine). On written sources and old topographic plans, it was established that in Ottoman times there were at least 10 mosques (one wooden), but at the same time 7-8 (according to the data of 1793). The Sultan’s Bayazid II or Selim mosque was probably erected in the 1510s-1520s, and in 1588 it was buried the Crimean Khan of Islam II Geray. Her building was twice rededicated to the Christian church (in 1770 and 1789). One more, the Khan mosque was converted to the church in 1809. In addition, the author cited data on the existence of a special Moldavian church in Akkerman in 1785 (since 1816 it is known as the Bulgarian church), and in the annexes – descriptions of the Greek and Armenian churches of the 1880s years.
