    Karamanoğlu Camii

    Kayakapı, Esatağa Sk. No:13, 50400 Ürgüp/Nevşehir

    The Merkez Karamanoğlu Mosque, built from cut stone, is a 13th-century Seljuk-era structure. It was commissioned in 1221 by a statesman named Vizier İbrahim from the Karamanoğlu dynasty.

    The mosque features an iwan supported by two elephant-foot pillars, with pointed arches and barrel-vaulted naves.

    In the courtyard, there is a fountain with 12 columns, the marble-covered tomb of Hayri Efendi, one of the Ottoman-era Shaykh al-Islams, and five additional graves.
