The Ulu Camii or Great Mosque has, to my great delight, been restored, and the job was done very well. The building – or rather the complex of mosque, Koran school, mausoleum and a ders-hane (where reading of the Koran was taught) - was founded in 1507 by Halil, a prince of the Ramazan Oğlu family. I was shown around the mosque and Medrese by the keeper, who not only opened some extra doors and windows, but also led me up the minaret. The style is in a Syrian tradition, but is mingled with Selçuk elements.
