Özet:

The scope of this article is about the Grand Mosque located in the town center of Hazro district; so far no comprehensive study has been conducted about the Grand Mosque. The single domed square plan mosque was constructed during the Ottoman period by the Tercil Principality being up to the Ottomans in the XVIth century. The Hazro Grand Mosque is constructed in the same architectural plan as the Çermik Şah Ali Bey Mosque being contucted by the the Çermik Principality in the XVIth century (1517) and as the Silvan Kara Behlül Bey Camii built by the Meyafarikin Principality in the XVIth century (1561- 75). During 1927- 30, 1947- 50 and in the year of 1962 some additions are done to Hazro Great Mosque, the minaret of the mosque remained at its first place. Overall, the mosque was built because of necessity but its usage function comes into prominence. The stone masonry of the mosque stands out for its ornamentation. The ornamentations are made in reliefs as geometric and floral designs. In addition to these muqarnas decorations are also included. It is very spectacular that the Grand Mosque was not built in the administrative center of Hazro but in the principality of Hazro in a village. The meticulous stonework and decorations of the mosque demonstrates all the social- economic, political and artistic power of the Tercil Principality. The study will focus on the history of construction, architectural plan and features, decorations and all the construction techniques.
