Özet:

 The city of Izmir, which was definitely annexed to the Ottoman lands in 1426, gained a more sheltered appearance when Fatih Sultan Mehmet renovated the PortLower Castle in 1480. In the city, which has become an important port trade center since the 17th century due to its geographical location and the political policies of the period, the architectural texture of the Kemeralti bazaar, located behind Liman Kale, has developed accordingly. Islamic worship buildings positioned around the shops, warehouses and inns built due to developing commercial activities have also become symbols of the bazaar region. Some of the religious buildings have designs called fevkani, with commercial units on the lower floor and places of worship on the upper floor. In the designs in question, the income of the shops belonging to the mosque foundation was allocated to the expenses of the building and the benefits of the existing commercial tissue were benefited. The supremely established Kestanepazari Mosque, located on the border of the old inner port, has created an organic bond with trade with its warehouses and shops on the lower floor. Kestanepazarı Mosque, which constitutes the essence of our article, is located in the historical bazaar area, on the old inner harbor arc. The supremely established building, which rises on a lower floor consisting of shops and warehouses in parallel with the commercial texture in which it is located, has survived to the present day with the different construction phases it has gone through. The Kızıl İbrahim Mosque, which was previously located here, was renovated by expanding it in 1730 by Eminzâde Hacı Ahmet Agha on the grounds that it was insufficient in terms of capacity, but since this structure was damaged in the 1868 earthquake, it was repaired by the Egyptian Hacı Hüseyin Nuri Efendi in the same year and gained its current appearance in terms of the plan scheme. In the sources related to the building, there is no information about the appearance of the building built by Eminzâde Hacı Ahmet Agha. However, the photos in digital archives is the important in that it reflects the architectural establishment that the structure gained in 1730. The construction phases of the Kestanepazarı Mosque will be evaluated comprehensively in the light of the photographs dated to different periods, the earliest of which is from 1862. Based on these photographs, the construction stages of the building are included in our publication for the first time. Therefore, with these data included in our study for the first time, it is aimed to fill the gap in the literature regarding the historical process of the building. Kestanepazarı Mosque, which has a striking appearance in Kemeraltı bazaar with its architectural foundation and facade design, was damaged in the Izmir earthquake of October 30, 2020. Restoration work in the building continues.

 1426 yılında kesin olarak Osmanlı topraklarına katılan İzmir kenti 1480 yılında Fatih Sultan Mehmetin LimanAşağı Kaleyi ihya ettirmesi ile daha korunaklı bir çehre kazanmıştır. 17. yüzyıldan itibaren coğrafi konumu ve dönemin siyasi politikaları gereği önemli bir liman ticareti merkezi haline gelen kentte Liman Kalenin gerisinde kalan Kemeraltı Çarşısının mimari dokusu bu doğrultuda gelişmiştir. Gelişen ticari faaliyetlere bağlı olarak inşa edilen dükkân, depo ve hanların çevresine konumlandırılan İslami ibadet yapıları da çarşı bölgesinin simgeleri haline gelmiştir. Makalemizin özünü oluşturan Kestanepazarı Camii tarihi çarşı bölgesinde, doldurulan eski iç liman yayı üzerinde yer almaktadır. Bulunduğu ticari dokuya paralel olarak dükkân ve depolardan oluşan bir zemin kat üzerinde yükselen fevkani kuruluşlu yapı, geçirdiği farklı inşa evreleri ile günümüze ulaşmıştır. Önceleri burada yer alan Kızıl İbrahim Mescidi kapasite bakımından yetersiz geldiği gerekçesi ile 1730 yılında Eminzâde Hacı Ahmet Ağa tarafından genişletmek suretiyle yenilenmiş, ancak bu yapı 1868 depreminde zarar gördüğü için Mısırlı Hacı Hüseyin Nuri Efendi tarafından aynı yıl onarılarak plan şeması itibariyle günümüzdeki görünümüne kavuşmuştur. Yapıya ilişkin kaynaklarda Eminzâde Hacı Ahmet Ağa tarafından inşa ettirilen yapının görünümüne ilişkin bir bilgi mevcut değildir. Ancak dijital arşivlerden elde edilen fotoğraflar yapının 1730 yılında Eminzâde Hacı Ahmet Ağa döneminde kazanmış olduğu mimari kuruluşu yansıtması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Söz konusu fotoğraflar üzerinden Kestanepazarı Camiinin 1868 yılı öncesindeki görünümü ilk kez yayınımızda irdelenecektir.
