Rızvaniye Mosque
Rızvaniye Camii
An Ottoman-era mosque on the northern shore of Balıklıgöl, whose long arcades are reflected in the pool, the most photogenic view of the pool.
Built in 1716, the mosque has a courtyard and an arcaded madrasa, and its façade stretches along the pool. The lights and reflections are especially lovely at dusk. Visitors may go inside but must follow the mosque's dress code and avoid entering during prayer times. Admission is free. Visit together with Balıklıgöl and the castle.
