Gurgi Mosque, Ottoman mosque in central Tripoli, Libya
The Gurgi Mosque features fifteen decorative domes alongside a 25-meter-tall minaret with two balconies constructed from green marble.
Naval captain Mustafa Gurgi commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1834 during the governance of Yusuf Karamanli in Tripoli.
The mosque incorporates European and Islamic geometric patterns throughout its structure, with walls and columns made of natural marble and floors of multicolored tiles.
The religious building contains two separate entrances, with one located on Al-Akwash Street and another through a northern alley passage.
The antechamber of the mosque functions as a mausoleum, containing the burial chambers of Mustafa Gurgi and his family members.
