Hamidiye Camii in Kırşehir, Turkiye, is a truly unique mosque unlike any other. Its interior features a ceiling painted like the sky and a carpet resembling grass, inspired by Qur’an 2:22, which describes the earth as a dwelling and the sky as a canopy.
Designed by an Azerbaijani architect, the mosque draws visitors from around the world for prayer, reflection, and admiration. Its wooden minbar is crafted to resemble tree trunks, blending naturally with the overall theme. Originally built in the 1910s during the Ottoman era and named after Sultan Abdülhamid II, the mosque later fell into disrepair, was demolished, and rebuilt in 2016.
With its sky-and-garden imagery, Hamidiye Camii is often said to evoke the gardens of Paradise, making it a serene place for contemplation and worship.
