İlyas Bey Mosque, Seljuk mosque in Didim, Turkey.
The İlyas Bey Mosque features a central dome measuring 14 meters in diameter, supported by an octagonal base and four walls with marble blocks.
The mosque was constructed in 1403 by Ilyas Bey, ruler of the Turkish Menteshe emirate, as part of a complex including a madrasah and hammam.
