Its story
The Çermik Ulu Mosque is also known as the Sultan Alaaddin, Cami-i Atik, Cami-i Çermik or Şah Ali Bey Mosque. The first building was commissioned by Ebû Mansur İlaldı of the İnaloğulları in the time of Fahreddin Kara Arslan of the Hasankeyf Artuqids (12th century). It was repaired and a minaret added in the reign of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I; for this reason it was popularly known as the Sultan Alaaddin. The present building is the product of two separate periods: the portal section remains from the Şah Ali Bey Mosque, and the domed section from a later addition. The mosque in the district center is within walking distance of the Haburman Bridge and the remains of Çermik Castle.
