This mosque is located the Hisarönü place behind the castle that was torn down in 1872 in todays Kemeraltı Bazaar. Yakup Bey ordered it to be built in 1592. It is the largest and most spectular mosque in Izmir. It includes a central dome and a ‘’harim mekanı’’ (the real place of pray) covered with small domes and a domed mihrab, the last congregation place. The mosque with its restored minaret represents the typical characteristic of the classical Ottoman Era’s Mosques. Inside the mosque you can see panels, mihrab and mimbar works and you can find the most terrific examples of the ‘’Turkish taste of art’’.

This mosque was built in 1667. It has a centrally domed harim place and the last congregation place. The mihrab’s stone arts works are worth seeing. There are panels that are full of multi-colored glass on the last congregation places side that looks to the courtyard.

It is the largest domed mosque. Salepçizade Hacı Ahmed Efendi ordered to be built in 1906. The exterior walls of the mosque are made of marble and these walls are covered with green stones. It takes its place among the best mosques in the late Izmir Era Mosques.

It takes its name from the Şadırvans (fountains used for ritual ablutions) found on its side and under it. It was erected in 1636 and has a single minaret (with a balcony around it) on its east side and a library on its west. These mosques are distributed in the Kemeraltı Bazaar region.

This mosque is also known as the ‘’Hadji Hüseyin Mosque’’. It was built in 1652. A single dome covers the mosque and there are shops under it. It is situated in the ‘’Anafartalar Bazaar’’.

It stands in ‘’Konak Square’’. Mehmet Pascha’s doughter, Ayşe ordered it to be built in 1754. It reflects a classical Ottoman architectural style. It is a pretty structure with a single dome and is decorated with tiles composed of classical ottoman motifs.

This structure which was erected in the 17^th century has a central dome. The traditional art of Islamic carigraphy of the 18^th century is worth seeing. There is a sebil (the traditional Turkish fountain) at the end of the mosque dating back to the same period. This mosque stands in the entrance of the Kemeraltı Bazaar.
