Gökmedrese Mosque
Gökmedrese Camii
A 13th-century Seljuk mosque with finely carved stone portals. Nearby stand a tomb decorated with blue tiles and the tomb of Turumtay.
The Gökmedrese Mosque was built in 1266 to 1267, commissioned by the Seljuk governor Turumtay. Its name comes from the blue-green glazed tiles that once covered the outer walls of his tomb. The mosque has an unusual multi-domed structure, and its main doorway is a fine example of Anatolian Seljuk stone carving. Across the road stands the Turumtay Tomb, and nearby is the Halifet Gazi Tomb. It is in the western part of the old town and can be walked to from the museum on the way.
