Ulu Cami

Its small garden is one of the indispensable parts of summer days... a garden where you can see about 10 bird species in an hour :)

Burnt mosque, also called mosque. Inside, imam told me to take a picture of the frames on the door and the spots in the mihrab, then came to me :) The traces of the blood and oil of 286 Muslims who were massacred by the Armenian gangs at the time. Is that how it is, man?

Great in Kars Kaleici District Mosque during the reign of Sultan İbrahim (1640- 1648) Dilaver Pasha, Kars Beylerbeyi It was built in 1643 by. Armenians at the end of the First World War burned by the remains of the earthquake damaged and unusable It has come. The mosque was restored in 1997 and largely lost its originality, new took the appearance of a mosque.

The mosque where that sad event where the Armenians massacred the Muslims took place... one's throat is choked when you know its story.

It was built in the 17th century during the reign of the Ottoman Sultan Sultan Ibrahim. It is the largest Ottoman Period mosque in the city. It was burned and defaced during the Ottoman-Russian War. It was restored by the General Directorate of Foundations and opened to worship in 2009. The interior is quite plain. It reminded me of the Hatuniye Mosque in Manisa. There are many historical monuments in the area where the mosque is located, I recommend you to visit.

We couldn't go to the castle because we had children with us. We wandered around the Ulu Mosque. Even in this part, there are quite a lot of historical places. Churches, beylerbeyi palace, etc. We will conquer the castle on our next visit. If you fall by the way, don't forget to go to Ani ruins from here.

This great mosque, which was built in 1579 during the reign of Sultan Murat III, was destroyed in the Iranian attacks in 1604. Later, it was rebuilt in 1643 by Kars Beylerbeyi Dilaver Pasha. Unfortunately, the mosque was destroyed again in the earthquake in 1664. In 1773, a philanthropist had it rebuilt. It was used as a weapons depot in the 93 Russian War, and when the Russians left in 1918, the Armenian gangs gathered 286 Muslims in the mosque, poured burnt oil and set it on fire. There are still traces of oil and burns on the walls of the mosque. It is also known as the mosque with burnt oil. In 1938, a benevolent citizen had it rebuilt.
