Tire Yavukluoglu complex

This complex had been recently restored (I visited in December 2004).

On another site I found: Yoğurtluoğlu(Yavukluoğlu) Kulliye. The kulliye is opened to worship after the restoration in 2005. The mosque has lost its originality partially during this restoration. The kulliye is located in Turan District, Beyler Deresi District.

There are 14 madrasah rooms and an imaret house adjoining the madrasah rooms in the kulliye. The upper part of the mosque is covered up with a dome with a vault and dodecagon rim.

In fact this building which you are called as gatehouse is observatory for astronomy. Of course it has losed its original form.
