Great Mosque of Siirt, Seljuk mosque in Siirt, Turkey
The Great Mosque of Siirt features a central dome surrounded by smaller domes and contains a single balcony minaret with turquoise ceramic decorations.
The Great Mosque of Siirt was constructed in 1129 by Seljuk Ruler Mugiziddun Mahmut, with additional annexes built by Cizre Governor El Mucahit Ishak in 1260.
The mosque's walnut wood pulpit, representing exceptional Seljuk craftsmanship, is now exhibited at the Ethnographic Museum in Ankara for preservation purposes.
The General Directorate of Foundations carried out extensive restoration work on the mosque in 1965 to maintain its structural integrity and historical elements.
The mosque stands as a testament to Seljuk architecture in southeastern Turkey, located in a region that has been inhabited since 3000 BC.
