We carried out a special study in this area that will rediscover the traces of the past and meet the needs of the region. One of the most important points of this project was Sa'di Bey Masjid. We completed its construction quickly. This building was built with a very aesthetic architecture. We have brought a beautiful place of worship to Subaşı where our citizens can come together. "We plan to open it in a very short time and put it at the service of our citizens," he said.
'WE HAVE MADE A TRANSFORMATION'
Providing information about the construction of Sa'di Bey Masjid, Nurettin Özbey, Head of the Department of Technical Affairs, said, “We carried out a transformation in Subaşı Square with the instructions of our Metropolitan Mayor Mustafa Demir. To realize this transformation, we first built the Subaşı Mechanical Parking Lot. Then, we restored the historical 2-basin Hamidiye Fountain, which was built by Sultan Abdülhamid II and had disappeared over time. Finally, with the completion of the Sadi Masjid, a very important religious piece was completed. There are separate sections for men and women in our mosque, which has a capacity of 8 people. The walls were made of special glass and the ceilings were made of wood in a 100-dimensional manner. All of our copper coatings are made with an art called 'Kufi' and are handcrafted one by one. Here, all materials were carefully selected and presented to the public. We made sure that it was a modern building while preserving the historical texture. Thus, Subaşı Square became a large square serving the people of Samsun. Our construction phase has been completed and we will be opening as soon as possible. "I hope it will be beneficial to all our citizens," he said.
