Sabancı Central Mosque

The building has six minarets reaching 99 meters in height, with a central dome measuring 32 meters in diameter and 54 meters tall.

The construction began in December 1988 and was completed in 1998, funded by public donations and the Sabanci family after Haci Sabanci's death.

The mosque incorporates Ottoman architectural elements, featuring calligraphy by Huseyin Kutlu and traditional Iznik tiles throughout its interior spaces.

The religious complex includes four classrooms, ten retreat rooms, prayer halls, and facilities that can accommodate 28,500 worshippers simultaneously.

The mosque's marble elements, including the mihrab, minbar, and pulpit, were constructed using white cement mixed with ivory-colored materials.
