Çinili Mosque

Çinili Mosque, located in Konak, one of the touristic districts of Izmir, is one of the city's landmarks. Offering a stunning visual identity, the mosque manages to impress visitors as soon as they see it. It is not very old as an interesting detail, but it is the sophisticated elegance that suggests it is an Ottoman work. With all its details, it stands out with its architectural understanding that it constitutes the basis of Islamic architecture. The elegant architecture of the mosque is crowned by the large number of people who want to take pictures in front of it, especially during the busy months of tourist numbers. Some days, there are staggering queues that remind you of the surroundings of Istanbul's iconic mosques. The mosque, named after its blue tiles, was completed in 1996. It is recorded that the construction work, which lasted approximately 8 years, was finally completed. It is open to worship and visit every day of the week. Its dome, colorful interior and spacious courtyard are among the highlights. The Izmir Bay, which lies in front of the mosque in the Zafertepe neighborhood, is the basis for the building's interest in a kind of landscape.
