Sinan Basha Mosque (Acre) [Poster]
Sinan Basha Mosque (Acre)
The Sinan Basha Mosque, also known as Al-Bahr (Sea) Mosque or Al-Mina Mosque, in Acre , Palestine, is the city's oldest surviving Ottoman-era mosque, originally constructed in 1586 by Grand Vizier Sinan Pasha as part of a larger complex including a madrasa and khan (now Khan al-Ifranj). Situated on the Mediterranean waterfront in the UNESCO-listed Old City, it was largely destroyed during Ahmad Pasha al-Jazzar's rule in the late 18th century but rebuilt in 1806 by Suleiman Pasha al-Adil and further restored in 1816 by Ibrahim Pasha, adopting classic Ottoman architecture with vibrant green accents symbolizing water, a courtyard ablution gazebo, and intricate Arabic script from the Quran adorning its interior. As Acre's first post-Crusader Muslim house of worship, it served sailors and port workers, embodying the city's layered Crusader-Ottoman heritage amid bustling harbors and markets, and remains an active waqf-administered site open for prayers.
