Niğde 069

The Süngür Bey Camii, a good building of Seljuk origin that was restored by the Mongols as early as 1335 that has fine stonework on the outside, some of the pillars inside look as if they are (copied from) Roman buildings.

This is the mihrab, with very detailed carving (the Lonely Planet finds it "almost Chinese in appearance").
