The mosque was commissioned by Abdurrahman Efendi during the Tulip Period of the Ottoman Empire.
Its architectural design reflects the transition between classical Ottoman style and the localized styles of the Cukurova region.
The interior contains decorative stonework around the mihrab that has remained largely intact since the 18th century.
It is frequently referred to by locals as the Kuruköprü Mosque due to its specific neighborhood location.
Yeni Cami, located in the Kuruköprü neighborhood of Adana, is a historical Ottoman-era mosque built in 1724. The mosque features a traditional square plan and is constructed using cut stone masonry typical of the regional architecture. It is formally known as the Abdurrahman Camii, named after its founder, Abdurrahman Efendi. The structure underwent significant renovations in the 20th century to preserve its original aesthetic. It serves as an active place of worship for the local community in the Seyhan district.
