Abdülhamid Han Mosque (Turkish:Abdülhamid Han Camii) was built in honor of the 34th Ottoman Sultan,Abdul Hamid II. A sermon is delivered in his name at this mosque every Friday. It is the fourth largest mosque in Turkey and the largest inKahramanmaraş. Its capacity is 10,000.[2] The building is located in Onikişubat District, Abdulhamit Han Neighborhood, Mercimek Tepe Street.[3]
The Abdülhamid Han Mosque ranks fourth in size afterÇamlıca Mosque,Kocatepe Mosque, andSabancı Merkez Mosque. Influenced by classical Ottoman architecture, the mosque is integrated into the city'sskyline and is visible from everywhere. This characteristic gives it a historic appearance despite its newness. Built in the style of akülliye, the mosque is a monumental structure for the city. Its plan, decoration, technique, and materials are traditional.[4]
It resembles theSelimiye Mosque, with its three-balconied minarets at each corner. The square-plan mosque's central dome is supported by foursemi-domes. Similar to theŞehzade Mosque and theSultan Ahmet Mosque, the dome is supported by four elephant piers.[4]
