The phrase "Banya Bashi" means "many baths" in Turkish. The mosque (1576) is situated in the centre of Sofia, a remnant of the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria that lasted nearly five centuries. It`s a part of the "religious triangle" - the St Nedelya church, the Banya Bshi mosque and the Sofia Synagogue, just 100m from one another.
