Samsun Merkez Camii, Central mosque in Samsun, Turkey.
The mosque features two tall minarets on its western front, a central dome adorned with floral patterns, and large arched windows illuminating the prayer hall.
Following the Great Fire of Samsun in 1869, the original wooden structure was replaced with a stone building designed by architect Batumlu Haci Ali in 1884.
The mosque holds regular educational programs teaching Islamic principles and hosts major celebrations during religious holidays for the local Muslim community.
Located near Samsun Clock Tower and Saathane Square, the mosque is directly accessible through the Büyük Cami Station of the Samsun Tram system.
The reconstruction received funding from Sultan Abdul Haziz's mother, leading locals to refer to it informally as the Valide Mosque.
