Gazi Turhan Bey Mosque and Mausoleum

Gazi Turhan Bey Tomb is located right next to the mosque. Photographs showing the intact condition of the mosque and the mausoleum were found, information and documents as well as survey, restitution and restoration projects were approved. The tomb has a square plan and cubic body, covered with a dome covered with a deaf and high pulley. The tomb was built with smooth cut stones. The tomb door and two window openings on each facade have flat lintels and pointed arches with deaf pediments. It is known from the foundation dated 1454 that Gazi Turhan Bey built a mosque, tomb, imaret, madrasah, bath and zawiyah in Kırkkavak Village. There is no clear and detailed information about the complex located just outside the village.

Smooth cut stone and brick were used as building materials in the mosque. On the body walls, minaret base and the upper cover, both alternating and cassette techniques were applied by laying stone and brick. Brick was used as building material in the minaret body and arches. The mosque, which has a square plan and a single dome, has a monumental appearance with its minaret in the northwest corner. There are four windows in total in the mosque. There is an entrance door at the west end of the north facade.

There are traces of wooden beams and beams on all facades. From the traces of beams and beams, we understand that the last congregation place may have been covered with a wooden roof. There is a pentagonal mihrab niche in the centre of the south wall. This niche is completely covered with plaster and has five rows of muqarnas.
