Latifiye Camii

It is in the shadow of the Great Mosque, which is well known and visited in Mardin, but I think it is a more magnificent work than the Great Mosque. It fascinates people with stone carvings on its outer door. Once inside, it gets an indescribable peace. The mosque was built in 1371 in a rectangular shape. The mosque, known to have been built by Vizier Abdullatif during the Artuklu Principalities, was restored twice. The mosque has a convex arched dome that rises over the altar, thus providing the mosque with an acoustic sound pattern. In other words, without the sound system, the imam can make its voice heard to the whole community. The altar of the mosque preserves the feature of the period it was built. The pulpit made of stone also preserves its characteristics to a great extent. ' In the mosque, 700 people can worship at the same time, there are also library, teahouse, kitchen, girl's Koran course, seminar room. We went to his teahouse. We both had tea and had a conversation with a couple like us about the history of religions. In the courtyard of the mosque, children from Mardin guided us to take a photo shoot and grabbed the school money. Do not forget to take the same photo.

It is also called Abdullatif mosque. Mosque architecture is starting to enchant even more doors. If you come to Old Mardine, be sure to visit. Examine the embroideries on the fountain in the mosque courtyard, each of which has a different motif. The fountain in the interior also has a story about birth and death. You can listen to Fatih from Fatih. (Fatih guides the mosque and the environment, also takes photos / asked me for 120 TL by informing the old mardin) When I came across the fountain with the same architecture while visiting the Syriac church, when I asked the guide, he said that this story was fabricated (I don't know who is right anymore). Anyway, add the mosque to your trip, you will be impressed.

The Artuqid mosque was touched by several governors. The entrance doors of the mosque, the minbar and the mahfil, which are unique examples of late Seljuk woodwork, are worth seeing.

Definitely add it to your must-see list. A magnificent mosque where you will feel the Artuqid architecture to the last drop. In the courtyard of the mosque, a 17-year-old local guide named Fatih greets you and tells you about the mosque or gives you a tour of Mardini.

Latifiye or Abdullatif Mosque. It has a large courtyard and an ostentatious portal opening to the courtyard. A part of the courtyard is used as a tea house. The interior of the mosque is simpler. There is also a large fountain in the courtyard.
