Grand Mosque, also known as the “40 Direkli Mosque”, ie. the mosque with 40 columns, is one of the most beautiful examples of 13th century Seljuk period woodworking, as it was built on 40 wooden columns and capitals in five rows. Currently the mosque, which was repaired to preserve its old structure, is one of the unique woods and brick architecture examples from the Seljuk period.
