Burmalı Minare Mosque
Burmalı Minare Camii
A small 13th-century Seljuk mosque whose spiral grooves on its stone minaret make it distinctive. It sits in the old town on the south bank, close to the riverside path and clock tower.
The Burmalı Minare Mosque was built between 1237 and 1247 in the Seljuk period. It is named after the spiral grooves on its minaret. The original minaret was destroyed by fire and later rebuilt in its original form. The mosque is a small, single-domed building with a plain interior, and beside it is the tomb of the builder's family. It is in the south-bank old town, close to the riverside walkway and clock tower, so it is easy to see while strolling.
