Hz. Ali Cami is a neighborhood mosque situated in the Armağanevler district of Ümraniye, on the Asian side of Istanbul. It serves as a primary local place of worship for the surrounding residential population. The architectural structure follows the traditional design common to modern suburban Turkish mosques, featuring a central dome and an attached minaret. The facility is integrated into the local urban grid and functions as a community hub for the Armağanevler district. It is currently fully operational and accessible to visitors.
