Şeyh Ahmet Mosque and Tomb

Its story

Also known as the Şeyhler Mosque, the building is counted among the registered monuments of the Isparta Directorate of Culture and Tourism in Senirkent. Adjoining the east facade of the mosque are an imam's house and a tomb built in the same period; a graveyard (hazire) spreads to the east, and to the south stands a second tomb independent of the mosque. Spolia stones from antiquity were used in the walls of the mosque and the imam's house. The adjoining tomb is entered from a small anteroom through a door bearing an inscription; the square, domed tomb contains two cenotaphs, and medallion inscriptions hidden under paint can be made out in the dome. The independent tomb to the south is a square stone-masonry building with a tiled hipped roof. The minaret stands northwest of the mosque; the women's section was added later.
