Ankara - New Mosque

(Local Name: Yeni Cami) The red porphyry "New Mosque", opposite the central prison in the easterly district of Dörtyol, was founded in 1565 by Cenabi Ahmet Pasa, governor of Ankara under Süleiman I. It was probably the work of the great Ottoman master builder Sinan or one of his pupils. The pulpit and prayer niche are of white marble. Next to the mosque there is a türbe.
