Abstract

The Ottoman art, which had constantly been developing and renovating in the field of architecture and decoration, entered a new era in the 18th century. With the improving relations with the West, western movements and Baroque, Rococo and Imperial styles were seen in decoration rather than architecture. The examples of the era named Westernization Period, upon which the western movements had effects, were seen mostly in the capital city of Istanbul, yet prevailed in many regions where the empire ruled. Hatuniye Mosque, situated at the intersection point of the Anafartalar Street and 943rd Street in Basmane, Izmir, is one of the examples of this Westernization Period, with its angle decorations influenced by the West. The study aims to determine the importance of the structure in the Turkish architecture by investigating the mosque in terms of its architectural and decorative features and by comparing it with similar examples.
