Teker Cami

A fabulous historic place no need to go and see ... I highly recommend ..

It is the real Shah Sultan Hatun Madrasa. It is now used as a mosque, and its name was made as Teker Mosque. The entrance to the courtyard is provided through the door in the eastern part of the mosque. The courtyard has a rectangular plan. To the north of the courtyard, through a door with a flattened arch with a feeding inscription, one passes to the place with selsebil, which has two windows opening to the courtyard. This large space, covered with a cross vault in the middle and barrel vaults opening to the sides on both sides, can be seen as a kind of continuation of selselbilli iwans. There are two rectangular rooms on both sides. On the second floor of the building, there is a five-eyed portico open to the courtyard on the west side. Behind these porches, the upper parts of which are covered with cross vaults made of rubble stones, there are doors of four rooms covered with barrel vaults. Here, the fifth door on the north opens into a room covered with a narrow and long barrel vault extending up to the north wall of the room with selsebil. On the east wing, which is understood to be symmetrical to the west wing towards the mosque, today there are only three barrel-vaulted cells and a long room similar to the other in the north. The traces of the portico, which should have been in front of this wing, have been erased. There are stairs that lead to the upper floor of the mosque among the rooms that have lost their originality to the south of the west wing. It can be assumed that this mosque was built by İbrahim Bey of the Akkoyunlu Period. The part with selsbil, which is understood to survive today, is important in that it is the continuation of the iwans and its cover continues the traditional Mardin tradition.
