Its story
The mosque south of Cumhuriyet Square was commissioned in 1371 by Abdüllatif bin Abdullah, who served the Artuqid sultans. Its present minaret was built in 1845, in the time of Gürcü Mehmet Paşa, governor of Mosul. The transversely rectangular building with a dome in front of the mihrab is one of the last Artuqid works in Mardin. On its well-preserved portal, a trefoil arch built of two-colored stones, geometric interlacing and star motifs are striking. The woodwork on the entrance doors and on the minbar and gallery are also details worth seeing.
