Laleli Mosque

Laleli Mosque
It was repaired by Ali Ruhi Efendi in 1829, and the altar, pulpit and minaret were added. It is thought to have taken its name from the tulip motif on its minaret.
It is a rectangular planned structure extending in the east-west direction transversely. The roof was formed by arranging round arched purlins on three arches dividing the space. The eastern part of the building has a semicircular plan and the narthex is covered with a sloping wooden roof. The minaret, which was built with cut stone, was partially demolished and repaired in 1976 due to its danger.
The Laleli Fountain, built by Ali Ruhi Efendi in 1243 (1827) in the courtyard of the mosque, is a plain fountain with a pointed arch made of smooth cut stone. In the direction of the fountain facing the mosque courtyard, there are three pointed arched niches and three fountains inside them.
