Auburn Gallipoli Mosque

Auburn Gallipoli Mosque is a mosque with Ottoman architectural elements located in a suburb of Sydney. The building features a large central dome with eight smaller domes surrounding it and two tall minarets on the sides.

The mosque was built starting in 1986 after Turkish immigrants arrived in greater numbers and the community needed a dedicated place of worship. The building was completed in 1999 and has shaped the area's character since then.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for the Turkish-Australian community and hosts educational programs where visitors can learn about Islamic teachings. It is a space where people come together to maintain their traditions and cultural connections.

Visitors should expect regular opening hours and note that Friday prayers draw significantly larger crowds. It makes sense to visit outside prayer times if you want to explore the building in peace.

Turkish artisans spent months handcrafting the interior calligraphy and dome decorations. Materials such as marble and stone were imported directly from Turkey for this project.
