Mosque

Boğazköy Mosque

The building, which was built as a church in 1890, was converted into a mosque after the 1923 population exchange.
On the eastern side of the building, in the section where the apse is expected to be, an additional structure was built to provide a connection with the reinforced concrete mosque built in 1978.
Over time, the facades of the building were plastered and cut stone plasters were added at the corners.
The roof was renovated as a gable roof covered with Marseille tiles.

Also known as the Boğazköy Church Mosque, the T-planned structure, oriented east-west, has a basilica plan. It has three naves and the naves are separated by six stacked columns. The columns are connected with flat arches and steel tensioners in the east-west direction.
The external length of the building is 29 meters, the width of the main rectangular section is 16 meters, the width of the narthex section is 20.80 meters and its height is 11.50 meters, and the total floor area is approximately 485 m².
All facades are plastered and there are cut stone plasters (columns that have lost their three-dimensional shape and bearing capacity) at the corners. A painted profiled molding runs under the eaves. The roof is covered with a gable roof covered with Marseille tiles.
The narthex, which is the entrance, protrudes approximately 2.40 meters from the main rectangular mass to the south and north directions.
