Özet: In this study, the mosque in the village of Sarihacilar at Akseki district of Antalya city has been examined in a scientific method. The building in a rectangular body built in north-south direction is composed of two sections. The prayer room in a longitidunal layout, the north of which is occupied with a room to have been built later, is covered with a flat wooden top resting on wooden sticks. The whole structure has been constructed with a half-kâgir system which the timber balks have been placed between the courses of rubble stone. While the exterior is too plain, some wooden decoration can be observed on the door wings, ceiling and mihrab in the interior. The most significant element of the building is the wooden mihrab. In contrast to the plainness of the wooden minber, the mihrab bears rich ornaments applied with the techniques of openwork and dyeing. The mosque of the village Sarihacilar can be evaluated as an important representative of the tradition of wooden mihrab in 19th century, which started with Taşkın Paşa Mosque in the village Damsa at Urgup in Anatolia.
