Alâeddin Sinop Mosque, 13th-century mosque in Sinop, Turkey
The Alâeddin Sinop Mosque features a large central dome supported by stone pillars and contains multiple windows that illuminate the interior prayer space.
Construction of the mosque began in the 1220s under Alaattin Keykubat I, but after destruction it was rebuilt in 1267 by Seljuk vizier Pervâne.
The mosque incorporates intricate stone carvings and architectural elements that demonstrate the refined craftsmanship of Seljuk artisans in medieval Anatolia.
The mosque maintains regular prayer times and requires visitors to remove shoes before entering, with separate prayer sections for men and women.
In the 1340s, İbrahim of Candar added a distinctive tomb in the mosque yard, which remains a significant historical element of the complex.
