Yeni Minare Camisi

This is the Yeni Minare Camisi, 16th century. Ottoman. It was locked so no interior pictures.

This ‘Mosque of the New Minaret’ was built in 1522 (during the reign of Sultan Süleyman I, the Magnificient), by Cambazzade Kadı Abdurrahman, a descendant of a family related to the (former) ruling Karamanoğulları. They were ‘Kadı’ (Judge) from father to son, and appear to have kept that position after the Ottoman (full) assumption of power in 1487.
