Şerafetdin Mosque

The mosque was built in the 12th century by Sheikh Şerâfeddin. It was repaired in 1444 by Ibrahim Bey II of the Karamanid dynasty; however, it fell into disrepair over time and was demolished and rebuilt in 1636 by Mehmed Çavuşoğlu Memi Bey. The mosque's body is constructed of cut stone, and the upper part is covered by a large dome. The main dome, supported by ten pillars, is further supported by a semi dome on the south side. The mihrab, covered by a semi dome, protrudes outwards. Except for the south side, there are second floor galleries on the other sides. The interior of the mosque is decorated with calligraphic examples and painted decorations, and the marble carved pulpit and mihrab are noteworthy works of art. The mosque also has a seven domed last congregation area, and its single balcony minaret was added later. The Tomb of Sheikh Şerâfeddin, located on the south side of the mosque and destroyed in the early 20th century, was rebuilt by the Regional Directorate of Foundations in 2010.
