Çarşı Mosque (Mahmudiye)
Mahmudiye, Eskişehir
A mosque of the Abdülhamid period in the Mahmudiye district center, designed with its 1905 inscription as a small complex with a madrasa and sebil.
Its story
The Çarşı Mosque, built in 1905 (1321 AH) according to the inscription on its entrance facade, was conceived as a small complex together with an L-plan madrasa and a sebil (public fountain). This arrangement reflects a planning approach frequently seen in the Anatolia of the period. Today the sebil is no longer standing; the northern part of the madrasa has collapsed, and the building, turned into a rectangle with additions, has largely lost its original character. The mosque, the main element of the complex, is nevertheless regarded as a building of quality in terms of art history despite the repairs it has undergone.
