Büyük Cami

a lovely mosque

Çankırı smells of history, worth seeing

May Allah give you a long life, grandfather Güray, the century-old saltman that I visit every time I go to Cankiriya.

In a historical glass, as beautiful as a female inside, people relax and relax

Imam muezzin, who has been working as of November 2019, called all of them carefully and listening to the Qur'an perfectly.

It is a place of worship with unique architecture, with a high historical value, where you can reach spiritual peace.

The mosque, which is one of the buildings of the Period of Mimar Sinan, was built by Sadık Kalfa with the order of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. In his inscription written with Sülüs Hat; "He ordered to do it in the year of isna Sultan Suleyman tali-ul hayr Hatmin will see the man in amazement Didi history ya mosque-ul hayr " quatrain is written. Although it is known that the construction, which started in 1522, was completed in 1558, there is no information about why it took so long. On the square planned Mosque, there is a large full dome in the middle and a half-dome on all four sides of this dome. These domes sit on four pillars and arches between the walls. Its walls and minaret are cut stone, and the dome tops are covered with lead. The interior of the mosque is decorated with rococo style, and between them are decorated with calligraphy samples. Mihrab is stalactid, it has a rich appearance. Its pulpit is made of stone. Its rostrum is angular and its body is round. The door jambs are made of marble and the arches are made of keystone, and the inside is grooved console. The last congregation place is covered with three domes based on four columns and there are altar niches with stalactite on both sides.
