Its story
According to the inscription above its door, the Doğanhisar Ulu Mosque was built in 1548. On the entrance and qibla facades, the outer walls are built of fine cut stone in the lower part and of rows of stone and brick above, supported in places by wooden beams; at the western corner rises a minaret of mixed stone and brick. Inside, the wooden columns, beams and the ceiling in front of the mihrab are decorated with colored painting and illumination. The Kültür Envanteri states that these decorations bear the same colors and patterns as the painted work in the Rüstem Paşa, Kara Ahmet Paşa and Takkeci İbrahim Ağa mosques in Istanbul. The wooden mihrab and minbar also stand out; surfaces once covered with oil paint were addressed in the repair.
