Parli Safa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Sur district, Diyarbakır, Turkey.
The mosque features an octagonal drum with a central dome supported by two feet on each side of the main sanctuary walls.
Built during the Akkoyunlu period by Uzun Hasan at the request of Cüneyd-i Safavi, the mosque underwent significant repairs between 1531 and 1532.
The stone mihrab displays ten rows of muqarnas beneath an arch, while the pulpit incorporates geometric and vegetal decorative patterns.
Twenty-four windows throughout the structure, including three on each side wall, provide natural illumination to the prayer space.
According to Ottoman writer Evliya Çelebi, the mosque walls emit a musk fragrance during rainy weather conditions.
