Its story
The mosque was built around 1145 in the Danishmendid period; sources give differing accounts of its patron. The rectangular-plan building is divided into five sections by four rows of columns. It is said that Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror prayed here during his campaign to Trebizond. The mosque, restored in 2000, is open for worship.
