Burdur Ulu Mosque is a mosque located in Burdur province. It is located in Pazar District. It was first built by Hamitoğlu Dündar Bey in 1300. It was restored by Çelik Mehmet Pasha in 1749. The mosque, which was later damaged by earthquakes, was rebuilt as a wooden frame in 1919.
It is on a high hill on the Pazar plain in Pazar District. According to the foundation records, Hamitoğlu Dündar Bey had it built. It is written in the inscription of its minaret, which was destroyed in the 1914 earthquake, that it was built in 1300. Çelik Mehmet Pasha had it repaired in 1749. It was built as a wooden frame in 1919 after the earthquake. It has three gates in the East, North and West. It has a half dome on the inside. Three domes cover the second congregation area towards the north gate.
Although it was damaged in the 1971 earthquake, it was built by the Foundations Administration. The mosque is made of cut block stones. It has a wooden ceiling and tile roof. There are two rows of pointed arched windows on the main walls. The rectangular narthex on the northern facade of the large square planned mosque is lower than the main walls and looks like a separate structure. In accordance with the architectural characteristics seen in the Great Mosques of the Seljuk and Principality periods, the mosque has three entrances in the north, east and west. The mihrab and pulpit are made of marble. The two minarets located in the northeast and northwest corners of the mosque have a square base and a polygonal body close to a cylinder. The bases of the balconies are decorated with classical diamonds and stalactites.
Ulu mosque or câmi-i kebîr is the name given to the largest Friday mosque in a Turkish city. The name is a usage specific to the first mosque to which it is usually applied, even if the mosques built later are larger.
Historical masterpiece built in 1300. The interior design and color tones are perfect. Definitely recommended for a trip.

It is one of the historical monuments that can be visited in Burdur. It was built in 1936 with cut stones, it is 30 meters high and there is a Burdur museum very close to it.

One of the historical buildings of Burdur. I recommend those who are interested in history to see Gidio. The interior of the mosque is not very different, however. It is different in terms of the stones used outside and its shape.

Burdur Grand Mosque is a beautiful old mosque. I don’t think it gets the attention it deserves. Definitely a must visit.
