Yıldırım Beyazıt Mosque Interior Window in 2024 5656.jpg

view map

A mosque at the west side of the town, beyond a river and almost hidden. It has a fine interior, about which I found " The description I found speaks of “iwans” where I use “rooms”. An iwan is “A large, vaulted chamber with a monumental arched opening on one side “ I took picture of all. The east room provides entrances and has a “guestroom” (tabhane ) on either side (closed). The south room has the mihrab and minbar. The west room has a “müezzin mahfili”: a raised platform for chanters. The north room has a balcony."
Outside of a soup kitchen only one part remains.
