Taşkınpaşa Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:48:13

Some 7km south of Keşlik Monastery, tractors bounce along hilly, cobbled streets in Taşkınpaşa, which is named after its 600-year-old Seljuk mosque. The original, 14th-century pulpit is now in Ankara's Ethnographical Museum. Outside, Taşkın Paşa himself is buried in one of the two Seljuk tombs ; traders stayed under the arches during the caravanserai days. On the way back to the main road you will see a medrese (seminary) with an ornate door frame.
