Description

The place where the Aziziye Mosque in Konya is located was previously known as the Bezirganlar Inn Land. On site between 1671-1676 IV. There was a temple called the High Mosque, which was built by Damat Mustafa Pasha, the wife of Hatice Sultan, one of Mehmet’s daughters, and under which there were shops. This building was burned in 1867 with many shops around it, and was built in 1875 with the help of Sultan Abdulaziz’s mother Pertevniyal Hatun, by combining baroque-rococo and Ottoman style. The temple, which was built with Cut Gödene Stone, is one of the best examples of the last Ottoman architecture. Two minarets with fountains at both ends of the three-domed last congregation place sitting on six marble columns of the mosque, which was built in the Turkish Baroque style, draw attention. It is covered with a spacious dome. This enormous historical monument was illuminated by the SOON Light Project.
