The Yağ Camii — the Oil Mosque, named for the bazaar of oil and lard sellers that used to surround it — is a fifteenth-century mosque built on the foundations of a Crusader-era Latin church. The doorway is its most arresting feature: a tall pointed arch with deeply cut stalactite mouldings carved by Karamanid stonemasons in 1501. Inside, the prayer hall is small but airy, with a wooden ceiling and a simple mihrab.
The mosque stands quietly in the heart of the old bazaar quarter, hemmed in by the shops that have surrounded it for five centuries. Easy to combine with the Ulu Camii a short walk south-east.
