Yeni Cuma Mosque, Former Byzantine church turned mosque in Trabzon Province, Turkey
The structure features three naves with a middle apse that displays a rounded interior and pentagonal exterior design alongside traditional Islamic elements.
After Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror captured Trabzon in 1461, this Byzantine church was transformed into a mosque, marking a significant change in the region.
The building contains remnants of both Christian and Islamic architectural elements, including the original church structure and later additions like the stone mihrab.
Located in the Yenicuma neighborhood, the mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and welcomes visitors interested in examining its architectural features.
Historical records from the early 19th century documented paintings of Trebizond Emperors from Alexios I to Alexios III within the building walls.
