According to these views; Ulu Mosque was firstly built by the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan II. It was built in 1240 by Hüsameddin Çavlı, the Emir of Elbistan on the orders of Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev. During the Ottomans, Shah Ismail destroyed Elbistan and destroyed the mosque in 1507. There are some who argue that Dulkadiroğlu Şehsuvar Bey has been reconstructed in accordance with the old plan and put the old inscription back in place. The mosque, which was repaired in different periods, has survived to the present day with its minaret.
