Its story

The Çalık Mosque, mentioned with the date 1094 (1683) in the TDV Encyclopedia of Islam entry on Kilis, is one of the examples of the mosque building that intensified in the city in the 16th and 17th centuries. With its plain cut-stone facade, courtyard and minaret, it is part of the historic neighborhood fabric of Kilis. Together with the Ulu, Akçurun and Kadı mosques, it can be added to a short walking route to trace the city's Ottoman-period religious architecture.
