Kılcızade Mehmet Ağa Mosque

Kılcızade Mehmet Ağa Mosque

Kılcızade Mehmet Ağa Mosque in the Aşıklaroba district of Bademli dates back to 1810. The mosque is named after Kılcızade Seyyit Mehmed Ağa, who was born in 1747 and worked as Ödemiş Voivodeship at the time, with repairs and extensions. Kılcı Mehmet Ağa Mosque, which has a flat ceiling structure with wooden beams, immediately draws attention with the pencil works on its front facade. The inscription on the entrance door is decorated with vine and grape frescoes. When we hear that the cotton fields we saw on our way from Ödemiş to Bademli were full of vineyards in the not so distant past, we understand the source of these motifs better. The wooden ceiling covering the last congregation place has gained dynamism with colored paints. The ceiling is decorated with porches covered with plaster on wood. However, the most important feature of the facade is the two miniature paintings located next to the entrance door. The Kaaba (Mecca) on the right, and Hz. Muhammad's mausoleum (Ravza-i Mutahhara) in Medina is beautifully depicted. The surprises of this small mosque do not end with this. The interior bears witness to an ornament that we rarely see anymore. Almost every part of the interior walls are adorned with trees, birds and flowers. It is obvious that it is aimed to create an atmosphere of heaven above the believers with green, lush trees, red birds and colorful flowers.
