Safety warning
Its story
The original construction date of the Siverek Ulu Mosque is not known for certain. The inscription dated 982 AH (1574) on the mosque marks one of the later repairs; the repair inscription dated 586 AH (1190) on its minaret indicates that the building goes back much further. It stands in the middle of Siverek's historic bazaar, dominated by basalt stone; it can be added to a short town walk together with the nearby remains of Siverek Castle and the historic fountains.
