Adana Ulu Camii

view map

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.

This is the West entrance. I did not take a full picture of the East entrance (where one sees a series of columns through the open door) because I did not want to offend the beggar/cripple who was sitting in a wheelchair there.
