Ot Pazarı Cami

In 1590, it was built in a square plan from black tuff stones instead of the Seyit al mosque. There is a mausoleum at the back of the mosque, and Afyon is a five thousand year old settlement. It is very rich in historical artifacts. There are historical remains belonging to the Hittite and Phrygians, and rich artifacts from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Due to its hot springs, it is also active in terms of tourism. Some of its historical and touristic works are as follows: Afyon Castle: The Castle of Afyon was built by Etiler and the Phrygians repaired it. The castle is striking in terms of its view and majesty as well as its defense.

The minaret has only one balcony. Its mihrab was made later and covered with white marble.

It is a mosque that always reminds you of Afyon with its history in a central location. Lunch, afternoon and evening prayers are filled by the shopkeepers. Other times, prayer is performed with a very small number of congregations. It is very cool inside. It is very hot in winter.

Its small size is striking, like the existing Mosques in the surrounding. The wood textures inside are great. Handcrafted carvings bearing the traces of hundreds of years give insatiable viewing pleasure. But the industrial materials we encounter in all our historical mosques; Air conditioning, heating installations, lighting and sound systems with electric cables look very ugly. They cover up centuries-old beauties. If only a solution could be found to these ugliness ...

Mahallah, with its shopkeepers and customers, awakens the consciousness of full unity of prayer.
