Its story
The mosque is in the village of Toprakkale in the Eleşkirt district, at the foot of the mound on which stands a castle known to have been built in the Urartian period. Some wall and tower remains of the castle have survived. The square-plan mosque, about 12.5 x 12.5 meters, is a simple building with pointed arches and a single dome; it has no minaret. Together, the mound, the castle remains and the mosque make it possible to see the village's multilayered past in one spot, and the site is among Eleşkirt's highlight stops on routes promoting Ağrı.
