Bulgur Tekke Mosque

Since Bulgur Tekke Mosque does not have any inscriptions, there is no definite information about the date of construction and the builder. It is rumored that his epitaph was stolen and is in Russia today. Experts in the field, considering the architectural style of the work state that it was built during the Anatolian Seljuk State in the 16th century and was used as a hermitage during the Karamanoğulları and Ottomans. The lodge, which was ruined at the beginning of the century, was used as a warehouse for a while and was later repaired and turned into a mosque. Bulgur Tekke Mosque, which is a typical Seljuk work, was built with cut stone foundations and a dome with brickwork. In the south of the courtyard, which is entered through a low-arched door, you come across the mezzanine floor of the building made of cut stone. When you enter the building, you come across another exquisite tile mihrab filled with cut stone muqarnas on the north wall. It is understood from the existing ruins that all the walls of the mihrab and the mosque were covered with dark green tiles in the past. For this reason, in some sources, the original name of the building is referred to as Sırçalı Sultan Masjid.
