The concept of central space and water element in Turkish architecture had an important role both in pre-Islamic and post-Islamic times, and both were used frequently together with the dome and iwan emphasizing four directions. This set created an architectural concept containing the ‘microcosmos’ philosophy for Turks, who believed in Shamanism, Tengrism, Manichaeism, Buddhism and Islam. The use of water element together with central space in Turks showed continuity both functionally and also as a symbolic cultural item. In this article, the process that brought the water element, which was seen in Turkish religious architecture before they arrived in Anatolia, as a component of the central space is analyzed in terms of belief and culture.
