Its story
The Alaaddin Mosque, also known as the Sinop Ulu Camii (Great Mosque), was built after the city was taken by the Anatolian Seljuks in 1214 and took on its present form through repairs and additions in the Pervaneoğulları and Candaroğulları periods in the following centuries. With its large courtyard surrounded by high walls, the ablution fountain in the middle and its trees, it is one of the most peaceful corners of the city. In the prayer hall, the wooden minbar and the mihrab section stand out. In the courtyard there is a tomb from the Candaroğulları period. Together with the Pervane Madrasa right next to it, it allows you to see Sinop's Seljuk heritage side by side.
