Söğütlüçeşme Mosque is an Ottoman-style prayer hall featuring a central dome, geometric decorative patterns on interior walls, and separate prayer sections for men and women. The interior follows traditional mosque design with functional spaces arranged to support worship.
The mosque was built during the Ottoman era, named after the willow trees and water fountains that once characterized the area. This connection to the landscape reflects the historical environment of the neighborhood.
The mosque draws worshippers daily for prayer and brings the community together during Islamic holidays and celebrations. These gatherings form an important part of local religious life in the neighborhood.
The mosque opens for the five daily prayers and requires visitors to remove shoes upon entry. Women should bring a headcover and wear modest clothing to respect local customs.
The mosque sits near Fenerbahçe Stadium and serves as a reference point for navigation on match days while maintaining its religious functions. This dual role gives it a special place in the neighborhood's sporting culture.
