Kayalar Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Foça, Turkey

The rectangular building features a single minaret with a round body positioned on a stone base and crowned with an onion-shaped dome at the top.

The mosque emerged during the second half of the 15th century as part of urban development initiatives by Sultan Mehmet II in the Foça district.

The structure integrates materials from ancient and Eastern Roman remains into its construction, displaying the architectural practices of different historical periods.

Located 200 meters northeast of Fatih Mosque within the castle area, visitors can reach the site through the main roads of Foça.

The minaret underwent renovations in the 19th century, resulting in modifications that reflect the architectural preferences of that specific time period.
