Its story
The Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism counts the 'St. Stephen's Church (Ulu Mosque)' among Safranbolu's places of worship worth seeing. The building was constructed as a church in the Kıranköy part of Safranbolu, where a Greek population once lived, and was converted into a mosque after the population exchange. Its cut-stone facade and basilical plan give it an architectural character different from the Ottoman mosques in the bazaar. It can be reached by a short walk from the bazaar area.
