Aliağa Cami

A simple, small and pleasant mosque

It was built in 1844 by a philanthropist named Ali Ağa. It was built of rough stone and has a brick-built minaret with a single balcony. It has a small garden. Inside the basalt stone-covered door arch niche, in its 5-line inscription, it is written: "Maaşallah Ali Ağa came and LiLLAHi FiLLAH, he built another cute Mosque. The hadith is divine based on the notion of "Min Buni", bristle Cennati Me'va. two dreams to HAMiD. Let the date be opened, Bi-nur, i Verse iNNA FETEHNA. Year 1260" The last congregation place has a wooden ceiling and a glass case. In the interior of the mosque, the walls are plastered, the ceiling is wood, and the floors are covered with carpets in red and light blue colors. The mosque is supported by wooden pillars that add a distinct warmth to the space. Its mihrab is made of basalt stone, a volcanic stone that is widely used in the region. Likewise, the altar of Kars Ulu Mosque was made of basalt stone. I think this offered a different and aesthetically pleasing look. The pulpit and the pulpit of the mosque are wooden. There is also a small fountain in the garden of the recently restored mosque, which was built by Hacı Kalender If in 2008.
