Its story
The Şarkışla Ulu Mosque, or Büyük (Great) Mosque, was commissioned in 1669 by Mehmet Ağa of Üsküdar. The rectangular-plan building has three inscriptions, which also shed light on the mosque's repairs in different periods. Inside, three square piers carry the roof, and a gallery running around the walls opens onto the women's gallery. Its minaret, on a cut-stone base, is built of brick. After a restoration that began in 2016, it reopened for worship in 2017.
