Its story
Although some researchers suggest that the mosque was built in the 12th century, its damaged inscription shows that the building was commissioned in 1365 by the Mamluk Sultan Melik Eşref Şaban. With its cut-stone walls, plain minaret and courtyard, it stands in the middle of Birecik's historic bazaar fabric. It can be visited as a short stop together with Birecik Castle and a walk along the Euphrates.
