In the area close to the Kemeralti market, which is located in the twenty-two kilometers from the center of Marmaris, is Ibrahim Pasha Mosque - another attraction of the city.

The spacious domed mosque of Ibrahim Pasha is a traditional pattern of Ottoman architecture and is quite popular among pilgrims. Built on the project, the architect who designed Ibrahim Pasha, and today it is a place of worship for residents.

Its construction was completed in 1789. This monument in the period from 1800-1849 attracted the attention of the British, who often visited the old castle town.

This mosque is different from the earlier buildings of this kind, and these differences can not be attributed to the European influence. These differences were due to the need to change something in the style of the mosques, which lasted too long. The architect did not try to oppose to Turkish classical Ottoman style, but he felt in times of change demand for innovations in the construction of mosques. However, the lack of confidence of the architect and ingenuity led to the distortion of the traditional style of the mosque, the work became more artsy and campy.

The symbol of the identity of Marmaris - Ibrahim Pasha Mosque - towers over the city for several centuries.
