Kestanepazarı Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Kemeraltı, Turkey

The stone and marble structure features a central dome surrounded by four smaller domes at each corner, with half domes creating semicircular wall edges.

Built in 1667 under the direction of Ahmet Ağa, the mosque underwent significant modifications in the 19th century by Eminzade Ahmet Ağa.

The mosque maintains its role as an educational center where students dedicate their time to memorizing and studying the sacred texts.

Located at Konak Mh. 882 Sk. in İzmir's Kemeraltı district, the mosque remains open throughout the day for prayers and religious studies.

The mihrab, a central prayer niche, originates from the İsa Bey Mosque in Selçuk, adding historical architectural elements to the structure.
