Alâeddin Eskişehir Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Odunpazarı district, Eskişehir, Turkey.

The rectangular structure features an octagonal dome measuring 6.5 meters in diameter, with large windows illuminating the prayer hall through a two-level layout.

Built in 1267 during Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev III reign, the mosque stands as one of the oldest buildings in Eskişehir, constructed with rubble masonry techniques.

The interior dome bears Quranic verses while the mihrab displays late Ottoman design elements, representing the intersection of religious and architectural traditions.

Located in central Eskişehir, the mosque includes a women's section on the upper floor, accessible through a wooden staircase from the northern entrance.

The mosque functioned as an archaeological museum from 1945 until the establishment of the Eskişehir Eti Archaeology Museum, undergoing substantial restoration in 2014.
