Serefiye mosque

From the main street you can only see a glimpse of the fine Serefiye mosque with türbe attached. wIthin its courtyard you get a good impression of its powerful arches and minaret, all built in perfectly masoned blocks. It was built surprisingly late, in 1528, by a local Kurdish emir.

 

The photo gives you a good idea of the interior, with very poor lighting conditions.
