Burmalı Minare Camii

The Burmalı Minare Mosque features a white domed interior with a gold mihrab surrounded by blue tiles and a stone minaret with spiral patterns.

Built between 1237 and 1246 under Seljuk Vizier Ferruh Bey, the mosque's minaret underwent reconstruction during the Ottoman period in 1730-1731.

The mosque complex includes the Cumudar Tomb and represents both Seljuk and Ottoman architectural elements, marking the evolution of Islamic design in central Anatolia.

The mosque maintains regular prayer times and welcomes visitors outside worship hours, with guided tours available through the Amasya Tourism Office.

The spiral stone carving pattern on the minaret, which gives the mosque its name Burmalı, demonstrates the refined craftsmanship of medieval Islamic stonework.
