Sinıq Qala Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:24:32

The (usually closed) little Mohammad Mosque dates from at least 1079. It is generally nicknamed 'Sinıq Qala' meaning 'Broken Tower', a sobriquet gained when the distinctive local-style minaret was left damaged by a 1723 Russian naval bombardment. It has long since been repaired.
