Konak Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Konak Square, Izmir, Turkey
The Konak Mosque features an octagonal structure with a single dome, decorated with turquoise tiles from Kutahya across its exterior walls and entrance.
Constructed between 1755 and 1774, the mosque was commissioned by Ayse Hanim, the wife of Katipzade Mehmet Pasha, who served as governor of Izmir.
The mosque incorporates classical Ottoman architectural elements with local design influences, displaying detailed stone carvings and traditional geometric patterns throughout its structure.
Located adjacent to the Clock Tower and Government House, the mosque remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors outside prayer times.
The interior chandelier, created by ceramic artist Umran Baradan, combines traditional Ottoman lighting design with modern craftsmanship techniques.
