The Haci Beyler Camisi from 1358. It has been restored to its present state in 1953.
On the picture: The prayer hall of the mosque, being of the ‘Kufa’-type, which means: wider than deep, having naves parallel with the ‘kibla’ wall (= the wall containing the mihrab/prayer niche. In Turkey the kibla wall has an East-West orientation).
When the mosque was rebuilt in 1953, it lost its outer gallery, and the prayer hall was reduced.
