The mosque was built in the 11th century and is also known as the Siniggala Mosque, for the name of its minaret - Siniggala means damaged tower. The mosque acquired its second name in 1723, when military squadron of Russian army, consisting of 15 warships and led by Admiral Matyushkin approached the city from seaside and demanded its surrender. Russian warships began to bomb the city after refusal. One of the shells hit in the minaret of Muhammad Mosque and damaged it.
