KOCAELİ MOSQUE
Orhan Mosque (Gazi Süleyman Pasha Mosque) – Kocaeli
The mosque, built in 1332 by Şehzade Gazi Süleyman Pasha on behalf of his father Orhan Gazi, was the conquest mosque of Izmit. According to the conquest tradition of the Ottoman Empire, the sermon in the first conquest mosque was taken with a sword. Today, this tradition remaining from the Ottoman Empire is continued with a little difference, but the Friday Huttes are sworded in Orhan Mosque. The original construction inscription of Orhan Mosque has not survived to the present day. The following information is included in the inscription on the plate, which is thought to have been prepared recently. “Fatih, Izmit Gazi Suleyman Pasha bin Orhan and Fatih, Hereke, and Fatih, Aydos, and Fatih, Kocaeli, Sanjak, 728 Ben, mosque sheriff, and madrasah, 733. The tomb in the southeast of the mosque contains imams and relatives of the mosque, the medrese of the madrasah and tombs of some sheikhs.

The mosque in the center of Izmit is the Ottoman Period structure. It was built in the second half of the 16th century by Mehmet Bey of Izmit. The building, which is thought to belong to Mimar Sinan, was completely destroyed in the earthquakes of 1884 and 1999 and a new one was built in accordance with its original form.
