Kizil Minareli Cami
The minaret of the present mosque dates from the Seljuk Period, while the mosque section dates from the Ottoman Period. Since there is no inscription on it, the date on which it was built is not known. The minaret surviving from the Seljuk period rises with a cylindrical body on a square base. The base section is made of cut stone, and the body section is made of brick. A band with geometric interlace winds around the body. In the lower and upper parts of this band are tile plates called baçini.
