Trace History's Echo at Gaziantep's Kurtuluş Mosque - Where Faith Touches the Sky!

Kurtuluş Mosque

It was designed by the Ottoman Palace Architect Sarkis Balyan, and built by the stonemason Sarkis Taşçıyan in 1892. The building, which was built as an Armenian Gregorian Church, successfully integrated the stone architecture of the Antep-Aleppo region with the polygonal cupola system of the Armenian church architecture. Being used as a prison for a while, this building serves as one of the biggest mosques in Gazianteptoday. The old bell tower was redesigned to a minaret, and an additional minaret was added to the building. The three-ton custom-made church bell is under protection in the Gaziantep Museum (Gaziantep Müzesi) today.
