Hisar Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Kemeraltı district, İzmir, Turkey.
The stone and marble mosque features a central dome supported by eight pillars, three large domes on each side, and a courtyard with seven domes.
Ottoman governor Aydınoğlu Yakup Bey commissioned the construction of the mosque between 1592 and 1598, marking the late Ottoman period in İzmir.
The mosque interior displays Ottoman Islamic art with curved branches, leaves, flowers, grape clusters, and star motifs adorning walls, arches, and capitals.
The mosque includes a ritual washing fountain in its courtyard, while the outer courtyard contains florists and vendors selling prayer beads.
A verse from Surah Âli Imran inscribed in gold leaf above the entrance door reads 'Whoever goes in there will be safe.'
