Şakirin Mosque

Şakirin Mosque makes architecture and art tangible: a contemporary interior reinterprets mosque elements through modern materials and calligraphy. The mostly indoor setting at Şakirin Mosque controls the time Şakirin Mosque deserves.

Şakirin Mosque

Why go

Architecture and art becomes concrete at Şakirin Mosque through its setting. The relationship at Şakirin Mosque between a contemporary interior reinterprets mosque elements through modern materials and calligraphy and the curved chandelier and transparent surfaces contrast with nearby historic Üsküdar mosques gives Şakirin Mosque a distinct place in a selective Istanbul day.

What to look for

  • A contemporary interior reinterprets mosque elements through modern materials and calligraphy

Useful to know

  • Check the official visitor page before leaving; worship, restoration or ticketing may change access.
