Nizamiye Masjid, Ottoman mosque in Midrand, South Africa

The Nizamiye Masjid features a central dome measuring 31 meters in height and 24 meters in diameter, supported by four minarets reaching 55 meters.

Built between 2009 and 2012, this religious complex emerged from Turkish businessman Ali Katırcıoğlu's vision to create a mosque following Ottoman architectural principles.

The mosque's interior displays Turkish craftsmanship through detailed tilework, mosaics, and paintings created by artists who spent 16 months completing the decorations.

The complex includes a school for 850 students, a medical clinic, a bazaar with eleven shops, and a Turkish restaurant serving the local community.

This religious structure stands as the largest mosque in the Southern Hemisphere, built as a three-quarter scale reproduction of Turkey's Selimiye Mosque.
