Kemeraltı Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Kemeraltı, Izmir, Turkey.
Kemeraltı Mosque is a place of worship in Izmir's Konak neighborhood built in Ottoman style. The structure features a dome resting on an octagonal drum with windows and a single minaret with a cylindrical body.
The mosque was built in 1671 by Yusuf Çavuşzade Ahmet Ağa near Izmir's old inner harbor. Over the centuries it underwent significant maintenance work to ensure its survival to the present day.
The walls inside display handcrafted decorations from the 18th century that were restored to match their original patterns. Visitors can still see these fine details when walking through the interior.
The mosque is within walking distance and located in an active neighborhood with good accessibility. Visitors should be aware that appropriate clothing is expected as an active place of worship, and prayer times should be respected.
An interesting detail is an old birdhouse attached to the facade above the courtyard entrance in the 1880s. This small feature shows how earlier generations cared for the building's surroundings.
