Niksar mosque

This is another mosque, with decent decoration at the entrance and on one side a sarcophagus that has been restructured into a çesme, a place to drink water. On its top the decoration on the sarcophagus’ lid shows a man milking an animal and a shepherd.

A viewer informed me this mosque is called Çöregibüyük Tekke. Originallyi it was built as Tekke in the 14th century. Later it was transformed into a mosque. Thanks.
