Camlica Mosque - Istanbul

Camlica Mosque, built in 2019, became the largest in Turkey. The grandiose architectural complex was built over the Bosphorus in the classic Ottoman style.

The huge prayer hall, internal and external courtyards are designed for 63,000 believers. The cubic building with a dome is surrounded by six minarets, rising to a height of 90 to 107 m. All structures were designed taking into account the increased seismicity of the region. The main architects of the project were two women, which is extremely unusual for Muslim architecture.

There is a large cultural center in the complex. It includes art workshops, an art gallery, a library and a conference room.
