Bebek Mosque, Neoclassical mosque in Bebek, Turkey

The limestone building features six arched windows on the main level and twenty-eight smaller windows above, creating bright interior spaces.

Architect Mimar Kemaleddin Bey designed this religious structure in 1913 during a period of architectural transformation in Turkish construction methods.

The mosque combines European neoclassical elements with traditional Islamic architecture, reflecting the changing design approaches in early twentieth-century Turkey.

Located behind Bebek Pier near the Bosphorus strait, the mosque maintains regular prayer services and welcomes visitors throughout the day.

Instead of a central dome, the structure incorporates four half-domes supported by eight frames, creating an alternative architectural solution.
