Kahramanmaraş Boğazkesen Camii 069

Though maybe it can be seen on some pictures I took from high, I seem to only have taken one of the minaret at ground level. It is located in the south of the castle in the historical city center. Since there is no construction inscription, the exact date of construction is not known. It is understood from archive records that the mosque was built by Alaüddevle Bozkurt Bey's Ekmekçibaşı Hacı Ali Ağa between the years 1490-1515 in the last period of the principality. According to the inscription on the base of the minaret, it is known that this was added to the mosque later in the 18th century.
