Melik Ahmet Cami

One of the historical mosques to be seen

A very beautiful and peaceful mosque. It has an architecture that smells of history.

You can see the mosque inside the wall. There is also a nice little burial area. But I recommend you to go during the day in terms of security measures.

Melik Ahmet is a work that adds value to the region and dazzles with its architecture. Must visit.

The mosque was built between 1587-1591 on Diyarbakır Governor Melik Ahmet Pasha on the street named after him. In Tuhfetül Mi’marin, where the works of Mimar Sinan are compiled, the name of Melik Ahmet Pasha Mosque is also mentioned. The building, which has a warehouse at the bottom and places used to be used as shops, has been upgraded and turned into a mosque, which can be reached by stairs. The place of worship of the mosque is rectangular and this place is covered with a dome. The dome was placed on an octagonal hoop and four pointed arched windows were opened on this hoop, allowing the place of worship to be illuminated from above. The entrance of the building is quite remarkable. The flashy main entrance door faces the street and has been moved out of the wall. The minaret to the right of the mosque on the north side of the mosque was built separately from the mosque and attracts attention with its stone decorations on the base. The minaret with its cylindrical body is single balcony. The minaret is halfway with two stairs, after halfway, it continues with one ladder.

One of the Classical Ottoman Mosques. It is architecturally beautiful and its minaret has double stairs halfway up. Pray while you are there. Inside the mosque is peaceful.

Melek Ahmed Pasha Mosque is one of the historical buildings of the region. It was built by Melek Ahmed Pasha during the Ottoman period between 1587 and 1791, and the effects of Mimar Sinan can be seen in the plan and architecture of the mosque. The mosque, which is located on Melek Ahmet Paşa Street, near the Urfa Gate, is entered through a door on the street. There is a basalt door carved with fine motifs at the entrance on the west wing of the building. After passing through this gate, we come across the wide courtyard of the mosque. There are toilets and an ablution room right across the mosque.
