Mosque in Aksaray - once again.


17th May 2015




The Mosque in the centry of city. Gathering - Holy Day. After that ceremony my friend Halit- Turkish English teacher was my guide in the Mosque. So I could take some nice photo .. inside. It was very interesting tour intio the past


The carpets are very clean because you have to take off your shoes entering the Mosque.. The carpeting is changed every 3 years..

It is very spacious.

Holy books Koran inside..

Today Aksaray is a quiet mid-size city. In recent past, many inhabitants migrated to Britain, Germany and other European countries for job opportunities.

    Nice carpet....looks odd without something to sit on...but that's their custom.

    Such a wonderful opportunity to get to see something many of us are so unfamiliar with...the inside, particularly! Very nice post!

    I enjoyed seeing the interior. That's interesting about the carpet being changed every 3 years.

    Amazing history. That grandfather clock looks just like ours -- although I'll bet it's a bit older!
