Timeline, heritage and stories

Heritage

Originally a Roman basilica, the building is a wonderful example of typical spolia and multi-layered architecture in Türkiye. Converted into a mosque by adding a minaret and a mihrab during the Dulkadirids era, it is now the center of Kadirli's cultural heritage.
