Sinanlı Ulu Mosque (Grand Mosque)
Ayaş, Ankara
A traditional Anatolian village mosque in Sinanlı village, Ayaş, built in 1547 and divided into five aisles by wooden columns.
Its story
The mosque was commissioned in 1547 by El Hac Sinan bin Hacı Osman. The interior of the rectangular building is divided into five aisles by wooden columns running perpendicular to the mihrab wall. The high-walled mosque is now covered with a hipped roof; some traces indicate that it originally had a flat earthen roof. A wooden gallery occupies the entire northern section. The mihrab lost its original character in later repairs; a reused Corinthian column capital can be seen at a corner of the mosque.
