A new spiritual artifact for the district

Namazgah Mosque, which will be built on a total area of 2,750 square meters, will add significant value to the district both with its architectural structure and its spiritual meaning. The project will include a large worship area in the mosque. Additionally, the mosque will be enriched with an aesthetic fountain area. Expected to be one of the prominent architectural structures in Istanbul, the mosque is being realized through donations from a benevolent citizen. The mosque, which has already received great admiration due to the spaciousness of the worship areas and its aesthetic design, will make an important contribution to the spiritual fabric of the region. The mosque project, prepared under the leadership of renowned architect Han Tümertekin, draws attention with its architectural design that has the potential to win international awards. Once completed, Namazgah Mosque will stand out as one of the striking architectural structures in Istanbul and will be among the most prestigious places of worship in the district.

“It will not only be a spiritual value but also make a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of Arnavutköy”

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Mayor Mustafa Candaroğlu stated, “Namazgah Mosque will be a place of worship located within the Management Center, which houses both our district governor’s office and our municipal service building as well as our social facilities. This mosque will be an important meeting point for both worship and social activities. In this sense, it will not only be a spiritual value but will also make a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of Arnavutköy. I express my gratitude to all the benefactors who supported the project, and may God grant us the opportunity to remember this mosque with goodness.” Mayor Candaroğlu also emphasized the architectural and cultural value the mosque will add to the region, indicating that the project’s architecture has been carefully designed and it will be a work that will gain appreciation on an international level.
