Sokullu Mehmet Pasha mosque in Bor | Erkekler Hamam | Şeyh İlyas (Kale) Camisi

Şeyh İlyas (Kale) Camisi

As they use my pictures I use a text from Wowturkey, translated and redacted somewhat: "This mosque [according to the notice on site from 1530], which was built in the castle [meant is probably "kale", a fortified place, of the fortifications I did not see a trace] at the highest place in the Bor district of Niğde province, is referred to as the Gözlüzade Mosque in the sources and in the Evliya Çelebi Travel Book. Adjacent to the mosque is the tomb of Sheikh Ilyas. Kale Mosque is made of cut stone, square planned. The pendant is covered with a central dome. It is seen that the body walls are divided into two by the deletion in the exterior view. In front of the mosque, there are four pillars and a three-sectioned end of the community. The columns here are connected with each other and the walls of the mosque and round arches. The place of worship is illuminated on both sides of the altar with one, two side edges, and two windows in the last congregation. The mihrab is in the form of a niche. The mihrab and pulpit do not have any features.

At the point where the place of the last congregation and the mosque's place of worship meet, the minaret is separate from the mosque. The minaret has a square stone pedestal, a round body and a single şerefe (balcony for call to prayer)"
