Minia Masjid al-Aqsa – A Project Bringing the Spirit of al-Quds to Trabzon
Situated on a 144-square-meter site in the heart of Trabzon, the Minia Masjid al-Aqsa Project brings the spiritual atmosphere and historical heritage of al-Quds to Anatolia. It was launched through a joint effort of the Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality and the Trabzon al-Quds Brotherhood Association, designed to serve as both a cultural bridge and a living monument that nurtures love for al-Quds in the hearts of visitors.
The site includes more than fifty detailed replicas of the structures that make up the Masjid al-Aqsa complex – from the Dome of the Rock to the Qibli Mosque, from madrasas to sabils, and from minarets to the gates of Masjid al-Aqsa. These models were produced with utmost precision and fidelity. The project is not merely an exhibition of models but an immersive experience enabling visitors to feel the sanctity of al-Quds and engage with its history.
Minia Masjid al-Aqsa is thus more than a cultural and touristic stop in Trabzon – it is a symbolic gate opening hearts toward al-Quds.
