The mosque features a distinct square-based minaret with a glass-enclosed balcony design.
It is built on a plot of 14,000 square meters, making it one of the largest mosques in the Denizli province.
The structure intentionally avoids the classic Ottoman dome in favor of a modern, flat-roof design to prioritize natural light.
It sits on a slope overlooking the Pamukkale University campus area.
The architectural design was commissioned to serve as both a place of worship and a cultural meeting center.
Müftü Ahmet Hulusi Efendi Camii is a modern landmark in Denizli, completed in 2010. It is uniquely distinguished by its lack of a traditional enclosed dome, featuring a sprawling, flat-roofed prayer hall instead. The mosque covers an indoor area of 2,500 square meters and can accommodate up to 6,000 worshippers simultaneously. Its architecture utilizes a combination of white stone and glass, creating an airy, light-filled interior. The complex includes a conference hall, library, and social facilities that serve the local community. It is positioned on a hill, providing wide views of the Denizli city basin. The site is named after a prominent local religious scholar known for his contributions to the region's spiritual history. The exterior landscape is designed with tiered garden platforms.

Do not visit during congregational prayers if you are not participating in the service to respect the worshippers.
Modest dress is required; women must cover their hair, and both genders should cover shoulders and knees. Remove shoes before entering the carpeted area.
