The famous Parlı Safa Mosque, built in the 15th century, is famous for its minaret. Immediately next to the mosque, the abundant decorated minaret has left the mosque in the background. The prayer room of the mosque, which was built as a single-domed mosque with Kareplan, was covered with a dome resting on two legs and wall extensions. The dome is placed on a high pulley from the outside and covered with a conical roof. The walls of the place of worship are covered with tiles. These tiles are octagonal and triangular in shape and show an even richer appearance with different colors. In front of the building, there is a last five-part congregation area consisting of four columns. The domes of the last congregation were hidden from the outside. The entrance door protrudes outwards and a repair inscription is placed on it. Under this inscription, a window with a pointed arch was opened in the space above the door. A remarkable point here is that various shapes of medallions are placed on the upper part of the columns between the arches of the last congregation. The famous minaret of the building was covered with a special fabric in old times and it was only opened on Fridays. The mosque is also called “Parlı” or “Fragrant” because of the mystical odor that arises from a plant mixed into the materials used in the construction of the mosque. The minaret to the right of the mosque is very interesting in terms of masonry. Kufi and nesih writings starting from the base to the cone are adorned with different forms and patterns. Due to the embroidery in its minaret, it is the most elegant and magnificent minaret of Anatolia.
