Behold the carved portals of the Divriği Great Mosque

Divriği · Sivas · Türkiye

UNESCO interprets the variety of these carved stone portals as evidence of different groups of craftsmen. The complex also includes a hospital commissioned by Turan Melek beside the mosque. Compare the mosque and hospital portals along the open visitor route: choose a plant scroll and a geometric detail, then photograph them where permitted. Check visiting arrangements and prayer times beforehand.
