The Small Mosque

It's in the citadel northwards of Bedesten and nearly 100 metres past Szleymaniye Mosque. It was built in 1230 by Akbeze Sultan, the first commander of Alaaddin Keykubat in the citadel of Alanya.

Its outer part is of stones blocks and the inner side, also the domes are of bricks. It has a square shape and two rooms. One of the rooms is a small mosque and in the other one there is the tomb of Akbeze Sultan. There are three other tombs in the room. It's clear that the apse of the small mosque is decorated with painted files. T

he inscription there means: "God knows the secrets of earth and heavens. Small mosques of God are only built by those who believe in Him and in doomsday. It was built in 1230 when the great Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat reigned, by poor Akbeze, who needed God's compassion."

There's a cylindrical minaret made of bricks in body on the base of rubble stones, a few metres far from the small mosque. The minaret that ends with a balcony has an interesting look.
