Hasankeyf Koç Camii 2168

The town has two ruins of what must have been fine mosques, the best preserved of which is the Kızlar (or women / madens ) mosque. A notice indicates it was built in the 13th century (but I have the feeling the 14th is meant, else the Ulu Camii from 1325 couldn't be the oldest) in the Eyyub period. The same notice is was a mausoleum rather than a mosque (but then why name it a cami or mosque?).
