On the picture: The mosque, as seen from the North.
The facade, preceded by the porch, is 33½ m wide. Since the mosque has no lobby (just a small vestibule), the porch acts also as the ‘son cemaat yeri’.

Most cami (= Friday mosque) have a ‘son cemaat yeri’ (= ‘area for those who came late’), where worshippers who reached the mosque late or at the last moment, will gather and fulfill their prayer duty. This area can be placed under the porch on the north side of the mosque, or in a lobby between the entrance and the prayer hall.
