Müsellim Cami

Musellim Mosque, located on Belediye Caddesi in Antalya's Kışla District, is also known as Teklioğlu Mosque. It is learned from the inscription of the mosque that it was built by Hacı Osman Ağa Kapıcıbaşı Mehmet Ağa in 1796. The outer courtyard is wide. There are examples of Edirne Kari art. The decoration art made on wood is worth seeing. Hand drawn work on ceiling decoration and on the wall has survived to the present day. The mosque, which is also devastated by women, deserves to be seen and prayed to our ancestors.

Are their toilets and ablutions so filthy? It is a pity that a mosque, both central and historical, is in such disrepair.

From the quiet and peaceful corners of the city. If only the restoration works and additions were suitable for history and architecture ..

A clean well-maintained historical mosque

There are restoration works, a 300-year-old sugar mosque

I was here on April 29, 2018. The Müsellim Mosque, which is located in Antalya's Kışla District, on the street where the Government House is located, is also known as the Teklioğlu Mosque. It is learned from the inscription of the mosque that it was built in 1796 by Hacı Osman Ağa Kapıcıbaşı Mehmet Ağa. A small library with a square plan was added to the southwest corner of the square planned mosque. In front of the mosque, there is a wooden end congregation place consisting of seven on the front and a wall extension on the sides and a column. The body walls of the mosque, which is made of neatly cut stone, rise in stages. The mosque is covered with a dome sitting on an octagonal frame. The windows of the place of worship are covered with tiles of the XVIII century. The minaret adjacent to the body walls was placed in the northwest corner of the mosque. The plinth and shoe part of the minaret are made of cut stone, the cylindrical body and the cheers are made of bricks. The building material of its library, which protrudes outward in the southwest corner, is quite different from the mosque. The library, which was made of rubble stone, was built in later times and has a top cover with a domed interior and a tile roof on the outside. Wooden materials were used at the pulpit, upper floor and entrance. There is one cheer in one minaret. As in all historical buildings, there is a centuries-old plane tree in its garden.

Since it is under renovation, it is messy inside and outside, but no matter how messy it is. When you enter the mosque, the historical texture takes over you. Hopefully, the renovation will be done in accordance with the original, they will not try to restore the wooden structures inside and the engravings on them.14.01.2022
