The Great Mosque of Diyarbakır (Turkish: Diyarbakır Ulu Camii or Cami-i Kebîr;[1] Kurdish: Mizgefta Mezin a Amedê)[2][3][4] was built in the late 11th century by the Seljuk sultan Malik-Shah I over an older mosque. According to some, it is the fifth holiest site in Islam after the Great Mosque of Damascus,[5][6][7] which influenced its design.[8][9][10] It can accommodate up to 5,000 worshippers and hosts four different Islamic traditions.[11]
