Sultan Alaeddin camii

Şereflikoçhisar is one of the most visited mosques.

A magnificent work is only to draw plaster on the stone-cut structure in the resto, which makes sense

You can pray in the shade of the century-old tree in the courtyard and travel to history.

Besides being a historical mosque, it is a very beautiful and clean place of worship.

It is historically very important, but its surroundings need a little more order.

Sultan Alaaddin Mosque Located on a terrace in Sarıkaya District, the mosque has a square plan and a single dome. The main walls of the mosque are entirely made of cut-hewn stone. The narthex on the north side has three domes. In the northwest corner, the base of the minaret protruding from the main wall is made of carved stone. The mihrab space of the mosque, in the direction of the qibla, has a square plan and protrudes forward from the main space. The three pendentive domes of the narthex are carried by stone pillars at two corners, two columns in the middle, and are connected by pointed arches. The capitals of the columns are very plain and simple, and they are connected to each other with tension irons. There are three rectangular windows on each side, and one on each side of the mihrab protrusion in the south and on the south wall. The body walls of the main space, which are in line with the narthex, are finished with a stone molding, and an octagonal dome drum with pointed arches on each side rises a little further from the inside. A dome drum with buttresses that narrows inward sits on top of it. This cone, together with the pulley dome, is completely covered with lead. The pulley, which is reinforced externally by arched buttresses, has eight windows. The minaret, together with the narthex in the northwest corner, has a pedestal that slightly protrudes from the main walls. The bottom of the balcony of the minaret with a cylindrical body is enlarged with moldings. Cheers and honeycomb parts are also wooden and covered with a lead-coated conical cone. The minaret door opens to the last congregation place. The mukebbire in the form of an arched window in the upper right, completely white plastered, was built in the narthex to announce the voice of the imam to the congregation outside. On the good side of the narthex, there is a rectangular window and a crown door in the middle. A wide, pointed arched molding circulates around the low-arched entrance door. There is an inscription on the upper part of the crown door, and some late period motifs on the edges. It is passed from the sanctuary to the dome with squinches. Tromp arches sit on buttresses protruding from the body wall. Its arches and squinches carry the dome. The stone minbar of the mosque has simple decorations. The altar space, which has an indentation in the form of an iwan on the south side, is covered with a barrel vault. The plain-looking stone mihrab was built in the same style as the crown door. The fact that the foundation walls up to the basement level are older than the main walls, dates the mosque back to the 12th century. Among the spolia here, an original piece of marble inscription also shows this. The exact date of construction is unknown, and the mosque must have been first built during the Seljuk period. The inscription on its door, dated 1869, probably reports the date of the mosque's reconstruction.
