Büyük Cami - Camii Kebir

One of the most beautiful mosques of Bafra. Ah, if only they could solve the ablution room and toilet problem as in Turkey.

The courtyard is very peaceful and the interior is as elegant and unobtrusive. However, the few people who came to such a beautiful place of worship made me feel bad.

It is the oldest mosque of Bafra, and it has the characteristics of Ottoman architecture, although its originality has been damaged under a period of restoration.

An excellent mosque built in 1079 Hijri.

It was built by Amir Mirza Isfendiyaroğulları during the period, however, Ayse Hatun mosque in 1670 by its current form is passed through a major overhaul. Corruption and originality greatly, it still carries the Ottoman style. Ayse Hatun who is? Bridge from the Ottoman Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasha's daughter Aisha who Evliya Çelebi's travel to the chick from this mosque built was talking about.

From the first mosques of Bafra, away from the eye of the garden, who knows when the tombstones are still standing. The mosque is still continuing its activities and of course it should be visited in terms of its history.

Ayşe Hatun, the wife of Köprülü Mehmet Pasha, had it built in 1670. It is learned from the sources that there is a wooden mosque, which was built during the Isfendiyaroğulları period, where this mosque is located. However, sufficient information about this mosque has not been found. The mosque has a rectangular plan close to square, made of cut stone in the style of classical Ottoman architecture. The place of the worship is covered with a dome with a pulley. The mihrab and its pulpit partially preserved their originality. Next to the mosque, there is a single balcony minaret with a round body on a stone base.

Great Mosque (Cami-i Kebir) The structure in the garden, with a single storey rectangular plan, a row of cut stone, 3 rows of brickwork walls, and a pointed dome (tura) roof, was built in the Ottoman period. There is a double row of hedgehog eaves under the roof. The entrance is provided by the double-winged main door in the north. It has 2 inscriptions and decorations made with ocher. The interior of the roof is decorated with geometric motifs. The mosque is accessed through a door on the west side. The windows of the mosque are rectangular in shape, with pointed arches, and have an iron cage. It is located in the cemetery garden where there are tombs and inscription stones from the Ottoman period. In 09.09.1978, the building was registered as a historical monument.
