Kazımkarabekir Ulu Mosque (Grand Mosque)
Kazımkarabekir, Karaman
A historic mosque in the Kazımkarabekir district center dated to the 14th century, built of the local white 'kasaba taşı'.
Its story
The building, known as the Ulu Mosque or Büyük (Great) Mosque, is estimated to have been built in the 14th century; its patron and exact construction date are not documented by an inscription. Its walls, built of the white 'kasaba taşı' (town stone) worked in the region for centuries, are an example of the district's stonemasonry tradition. Together with the late 15th-century Nalbastı Mosque in the same town, it forms the district's historic fabric.
