Alaaddin Mosque

Restored Seljuk mosque from the 13th century, close to Sinop's central streets.

Alaaddin Mosque is one of Sinop's clearest Seljuk survivals, founded in the 13th century after the earlier building was destroyed. Its plain strength fits the town better than a showier monument would.

It is close to Pervane Medrese and the small museum circuit, so it works as part of a central walk rather than a separate expedition. Step in respectfully if it is open and not in prayer time.
