Diyarbakır Ulu Camii
Attractions
It is the oldest mosque in Anatolia. We learn from the inscriptions that it underwent a major repair in 1091 with the order of the Great Seljuk Ruler, Melikşah, and that it took its present form with repairs and additions many times in different periods. As a result of the fire and earthquake in 1115, the arches, columns and decorated stones were all destroyed. The marble stones found outside spread after this date. There is also a sundial made by the famous scholar Al-Jazari, who is considered the father of cybernetics, in the mosque.
