Architecture and General Characteristics of the Underground Mosque;
Sancaklar Mosque , which impresses those who see it with its extraordinary architecture in Büyükçekmece, was selected as one of the best designs in 2015. The biggest feature that distinguishes the Sancaklar Mosque, designed by the architect Emre Arolat, from other mosques is that it gives the feeling of being underground due to its sloping terrain. Another feature of the Sancaklar Underground Mosque is that it is illuminated by using the rectangular minaret, qualified LED lights and daylight leaking from the mihrab wall, having gradual ranks, the use of slate and basalt stones in its construction, and the absence of chemical paint.

Sancaklar Underground Mosque Travel Guide Impressions;
A different mosque, in which the concept of the hira cave has been tried to be created in a different structure from today's classical mosque architectures, is waiting for you. When you look from the outside, you do not realize that it is a mosque, but inside the mosque you encounter a very different ambiance. Even the illumination of the mosque is thought to benefit from daylight. Again, the stepped structure inside the mosque is architecturally very well designed. Located in the Büyükçekmece Tuscan valley, the high walls surrounding the upper courtyard of this mosque emphasize the obvious boundary between the complicated world and the loving atmosphere inside. When you go down the stairs in the courtyard, the outside world is completely left behind, the mosque is completely integrated with the land. With this architectural structure, it reminds people of the fine line between the world and the hereafter and states that the life lived can never be taken back. Sancaklar underground mosque It is an award-winning mosque with its architecture. Due to its location, it does not have many congregations except for Friday prayers. I would definitely recommend it to those who want to see an unusual mosque.
