Akçakoca Central Mosque
Attracting attention with its extraordinary appearance in the city center of Akçakoca, Akçakoca Merkez Mosque draws attention with its contemporary architecture, unlike the mosques built with a single dome system. The mosque, whose foundation was laid in 1989 and opened in 2004, has a dome height of 31 meters and a minaret height of 58 meters. Akçakoca Merkez Mosque, where Turkish and modern architecture is synthesized, has a roof system inspired by the Turkish tent, seated on octagonal corners used in Seljuk Architecture, instead of the classical single roof system. While the interior of the mosque is decorated with stained glass, 32 tons of copper plates are used in the dome coverings.
