Sultan Mosque

The Sultan Mosque exhibits Ottoman architectural elements with a central dome supported by columns and features traditional geometric patterns throughout its structure.

Built in 1522 during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the mosque stands as a testament to the expansion of Ottoman religious architecture.

The mosque complex incorporates educational facilities and communal spaces, following the traditional Ottoman model of integrating religious and social functions.

Visitors must remove shoes and women need to cover their hair before entering the prayer hall, which remains active for daily religious services.

The mosque contains specialized water channels within its foundation system that helped maintain structural stability through centuries of regional seismic activity.
