Mersin Mosque, Ottoman mosque in central Mersin, Turkey.

The Mersin Mosque extends across three floors with twin minarets positioned on the eastern and western sides of the main structure.

Founded in 1898 as Yeni Cami by Abdülkadir Seydavi and other local leaders, the mosque received its current name during renovations in the 1970s.

The mosque implements traditional Sunni Islamic architectural elements throughout its design, representing regional religious practices through its physical structure.

The ground floor prayer hall accommodates 3000 worshippers, while the basement contains a conference room for 400 people and a youth center.

The complex incorporates Ulu Çarşı, a commercial area within its 6400 square meter grounds at the intersection of main city streets.
