Darülaceze Mosque

The building has survived to the present day, generally preserving its originalarchitecture.

It was built as a hexagonal, single-domed, masonry place of worship.
The detailed hand-drawn embroidery covering all the interior walls of the building reflects the taste of the period.
The mihrab has a flat arch and a marble frame, and is decorated with curtains and lamp motifs.
The 37th verse of the Surah Al Imran is written on the plaque (in Jeli Thuluth script) above the mihrab.
Like other places of worship within the Darülaceze, it is one of the symbols of respect and tolerance towards different beliefs.
The mihrab niche looks extremely decorative with tasseled curtain depictions opened to both sides and a lamp motif hanging from the middle. The calligraphy plaque on the marble frame attracts attention with its fine workmanship and calligraphy.
The interior panels of the dome are adorned with rich hand-carved ornamentation, with different floral and arabesque patterns embroidered on each section, and are complemented by gold medallions, floral motifs and verse panels.
The windows are arched and high; this allows plenty of light into the interior and highlights the colorful decorations.
The minbar is located to the right of the mihrab and offers a unified aesthetic with its white, carved wood or stone workmanship.
