Types of İcherisheher Mosques

“Icherisheher” mosques are divided into four types:
1. Jameh mosques (mosques with minarets) - are relatively bigger ones with minaret. These mosques intended for Friday praying, Eid namaz and gathering in religious ceremonies, besides daily worhsipping.
2. Neighborhood mosques (mosques without minarets) - are typically without minaret built on a similar plan. Rectangle, small cupola and single-hall mosques were usually constructed by residents and wealthy people of the quarter. At mosques that do not have minarets, the adhan is called instead from inside the mosque or somewhere else on the ground and also residents performed daily namaz there and discussed certain issues of the quarter.
3. Madrasahs - mosques - was considered the place of religious education.
4. Takiyahs - is a place of one person’s worship. Basically, it concerns Sufis and dervishes to pray. It refers to small-scale structures in the neighborhood.
