Turkey’s underground masjid set to re-open soon
Located seven meters (22 feet) underground, the Pisirici Masjid in the southern province of Gaziantep is expected to welcome worshippers by mid-March following the completion of maintenance work. It is part of a 734-year-old water structure unique to the province and is one of a kind in the world, according to Sahinbey Mayor Mehmet Tahmazoglu. The masjid, or prayer room, was last open to visitors about 80 years ago.
