Erzurum Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Yakutiye district, Erzurum, Turkey
The Grand Mosque features a rectangular structure of 41 by 44 meters with multiple domes, incorporating cut stone walls and brick minaret construction.
Constructed in 1179 under Nasreddin Aslan Mehmed, the Emir of Saltuk, the mosque underwent five restorations while maintaining original sections of the qibla wall.
The prayer hall displays traditional Islamic geometric patterns and a mihrab with stalactite designs framed by intricate braided patterns showing intersecting octagons.
The mosque accommodates up to 10,000 worshippers during Friday prayers and sacred nights, with entrances on both north and east facades for natural illumination.
The northwest minaret contains an internal staircase that begins at the top of the wall, offering a distinct architectural element within the structure.
