Göğceli Camii

Göğceli Camii, one of the finest examples of the Anatolian building tradition, is one of the oldest wooden mosques still standing within the borders of Türkiye. As a result of tests carried out on wooden samples taken from the mosque, which has no construction inscription, it was understood that it was built in 1206 and that the portico in front of it was added or repaired in 1335. The building underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2007.
