The historic monument combines European and Islamic geometrics, in a manner that fuses diverse architectural styles from different civilizations into one expression of art and beauty. Its walls and columns are enhanced with natural marble and its floors are clad with multi-coloured tiles, creating a haven that is truly inspirational and captivating.
Another important feature of the mosque’s architecture is the minaret. It is approximately 25 m high, with two balconies adorned with natural green marble. Particular attention should also be paid to the arched entrances of the mosque etched with floral patterns, as well as the praying hall with its tall marble columns, creating valuable artistic outcomes.
The construction of the Gurgi Mosque comes under 15 decorated domes. Visitors can enjoy exploring the calligraphy on the walls, etched with verses from the Quran in Andalusian lettering, as well as a range of decorations of geometric shapes, plants, and flowers. Like other classic ottoman-built mosques, there is also a tomb in the courtyard of the mosque for the founder, as well as other facilities.
