Lonely Planet review for Tombul Mosque

Arguably Bulgaria’s most beautiful mosque, and definitely the largest still in use, Shumen’s Tombul Mosque was built in 1744. Also called the Sherif Halili Pasha Mosque, its Turkish nickname, tombul (plump) refers to the shape of its 25m-high dome. The 40m-high minaret has 99 steps. According to local Muslim belief, the courtyard fountain gushes sacred water. An informative leaflet (in English and French) is available.
