Brief Description:
This region of Anatolia was conquered by the Turks at the beginning of the 11th century. In 1228?29 Emir Ahmet Shah founded a mosque, with its adjoining hospital, at Divrigi. The mosque has a single prayer room and is crowned by two cupolas. The highly sophisticated technique of vault construction, and a creative, exuberant type of decorative sculpture ? particularly on the three doorways, in contrast to the unadorned walls of the interior ? are the unique features of this masterpiece of Islamic architecture.
