The Tekeli Mehmet Paşa Mosque is located behind the clock tower in Antalya's old town (Kaleiçi). The place of worship was built in the 16th century at the instigation of its namesake, Tekeli Mehmet Paşa. Extensive restoration work was carried out on the building in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Arabic inscriptions in the colored tiles above the windows and at the base of the dome are noteworthy. On Fridays, after the midday prayer, the recently deceased are laid out in the mosque, wrapped in green cloths.

Located in the heart of Antalya's historic Kaleiçi district, the Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque bears witness to the city's rich Ottoman heritage. This 17th-century architectural gem offers visitors a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of the Ottoman era.
Historical Background
The mosque was built between 1606 and 1616 by order of Tekeli Mehmet Pasha, a prominent Ottoman governor. Its construction marked a significant period in Antalya's history and reflected the city's importance within the Ottoman Empire. The mosque has been restored several times, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, to ensure its preservation for future generations.
Architectural Features
The Tekeli Mehmet Pasha Mosque features classic Ottoman architectural elements. The main dome, supported by three semi-domes, forms a harmonious and balanced structure. The north façade is decorated with tiled panels inscribed with Quranic verses in Taliq script, underscoring the mosque's aesthetic appeal.
Inside, visitors are greeted by elaborate Baroque ornamentation and traditional Ottoman decorations—a rare combination in mosque architecture. The pulpit, with its conical structure, is decorated with gold leaf and intricate woodwork, testifying to the craftsmanship of the period.
