A new mosque has risen at the center of the burgeoning city of Kırıkkale, the capital of Turkey’s Central Anatolia region. Located nearly 50 miles east of Ankara, but still in the western half of the country, the city is home to a population of almost 200,000. The Kırıkkale Merkez Nur Mosque, which was designed by Turkish architect Necip Dinç and completed in 2015, accommodates up to 10,000 worshipers at a time. Its design borrows from 16th century Ottoman influences, such as Mimar Sinan’s Selimiye Mosque across the Bosphorus in Edirne, with a central dome that reaches 105 feet high and four 200-foot-tall minarets at its outlying edges. Eight carrier columns radiate from the central dome to distribute the structural load outward. Five additional domes shelter the entrance, and a dome-covered portico extends along an east–west axis to provide shaded access to the mosque, as well as a buffer between city and courtyard.
