A mosque in the park bearing its name, with origins going back to 1236, in the time of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Alâeddin Keykubad I.
Its story
The Alaaddin Mosque, together with the Kurşunlu Mosque, is considered Eskişehir's oldest mosque, and its construction is dated to 1236, in the time of Alâeddin Keykubad I. Because of repairs over the centuries, most of its Seljuk architectural features have been lost. Between 1944 and 1951 the building was used to store old artifacts collected from the surrounding area, forming the core of today's Archaeology Museum. With the museum's move, the mosque reopened for worship. It is a quiet stop within its park that can be visited when starting a tour of Odunpazarı.
