Şirvani Mosque

Sirvani (Sirvani Mehmet Efendi) Mosque: It is located in the Seferpaşa neighborhood to the west of the Gaziantep Castle. As it is the only mosque with two balconies in the historical Gaziantep mosques, this mosque is also called “Two Şerefeli Mosque tarafından by the public. Şirvani Mehmet Efendi is the name of the person who built the mosque. According to legend, Şirvani Seyit Mehmet Efendi Hz. Muhammad's grandson Hz. He is a descendant of Hüseyin. It is understood from the documents that the construction date of the mosque was before the 16th century AD. According to a legend, if the mosque is destroyed for any reason, it is said to be buried on the basis of enough gold and silver to make it again. In the mosque, there was a room where dervishes chanted and a muezzin house decorated with beautiful examples of wooden workmanship. Another important part is that the pulpit is slid from the bottom and can enter and exit the special section on the wall as in the Boyaci Mosque.

One of our historical mosques right next to our beautiful Antep. May Allah be pleased with those who made it and go to worship.

The embroidery on the minaret of the mosque is one of the striking details.

The mosque, which was built in the 1700s, is just below the Antep castle.
