Kartal Cemevi

The Kartal Cemevi is a place of worship in the Kartal district designed specifically for Alevi believers, combining religious and community functions. The building's design accommodates both ceremonial practices and social gatherings for local residents.

The center was established in 1993 as a community association with municipal support to serve local needs. Since then it has grown into an established gathering place for the Alevi community.

The center serves as a gathering place where the local Alevi community comes together to celebrate religious observances and maintain their traditions. You can observe how people use the space for ceremonies and social events that reflect their way of life.

The building is easily accessible in the Kartal neighborhood and situated in a residential area with good local connections. Visitors should wear modest clothing and respect local customs when entering.

The interior layout differs notably from traditional mosques, featuring an open space where men and women gather together without separation. This design choice directly reflects Alevi beliefs about equality and community unity.
