Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha Mosque
Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha Mosque is a mosque complex in the Levent neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey. Architect Sinan's Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul formed the inspiration for the design of the mosque. Maritime and shipping motifs were used in the project in honor of Hayreddin Barbarossa and his irregular sailors — Levends — which gave the area its name. The mosque complex is composed of an underground parking lot (for about 1000 cars), a workshop, a library, a multipurpose hall, and a dining hall, and can hold up to 20,000 worshippers.
The foundation of the mosque was laid on July 3, 2020, and President Erdogan held the inauguration ceremony 35 months later following Friday congregational prayer on May 12, 2023.
