Ertuğrul Gazi Mosque
Ertogrul Gazy metjidi
A Turkish-funded Ottoman-style mosque whose exterior closely resembles Istanbul's Blue Mosque, located in the city centre.
The mosque was completed in 1998 and named after Ertuğrul Gazi, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire. Funded by Turkey, its four pencil-shaped minarets and tiered domes clearly imitate Istanbul's Sultan Ahmed (Blue) Mosque. Its interior is decorated with blue-and-white İznik-style tiles and a large chandelier. Located in the city centre with convenient transport, it is open to visitors outside prayer times. Dress appropriately and remove your shoes.
