Step into a world where time dances with modernity. This is the Celebi Sultan Mehmed Camii in Antalya. A mosque that reflects its historical significance within its modern architecture. Built in 2018 it makes a bold statement with a soaring minaret, reaching for the sky. You are entering a mosque free from the usual chandeliers, a unique feature that makes it the only mosque in Antalya with this design. Its design reflects the spirit of the late 14th century, blending with the early 15th and 16th centuries, a mix of Ottoman architectural styles. Throughout the mosque, the elegance of marble is prominent, and the intricate craftsmanship of the ceilings and walls are breathtaking. The use of Manavgat stone in the exterior, and Finike Limra stone within, creates a stunning contrast that adds to the mosque’s elegance. The mosque is a haven of serenity, with the capacity to hold around 5,000 worshippers at one time. But its beauty goes beyond the structure. In the west courtyard, you can discover a historical Bosnian Sebili, transported from Bosnia, standing as a story from a bygone era. On the eastern side, you will find a fountain, inspired by Istanbul’s Laleli Mosque. The decorative details are incredible, adding to the overall majesty of the mosque. The frescoes on the dome tell the story of the Ottoman art that existed in the 16th and 17th centuries. Notice the blue and turquoise colours that represent the Mediterranean Sea, a striking reminder of the location of this mosque. These elements, blending seamlessly, make this mosque a testament to the richness of Turkish Islamic art.
