The Suleymaniye Mosque

It was built just outside kale on the top of the castle in 1231 when the city was being reconstructed by Alaaddin Keykubat, the Sultan of Selcuks.

However the mosque was not in good condition in the following years and it was rebuilt by Kanuni Sultan Saleyman in the 16th century during the Ottoman Era... The mosque with a single minaret is known as Alaaddin, Kale or Salaymaniye.

The building is made of rubble stones and it is square in shape. It has a brick dome based on an octagonal frame. Fifteen little earthenware jars were placed in the part functioning as the hanger of the dome in order to ensure its acoustics.

The acoustic quality is felt during religious practice, The final public place is found below three brick domes on a four-foot basis. The covers of doors and windows are fine examples of wood carving of the Ottoman.
