Really worth a visit, this Seljuck architecture is very different from regular Ottoman structures of Istanbul. The differences are stark and its fascinating that the same people under different empires built such distinct buildings.

Following many travellers comments I'd say the mosque distinguishes by its many columns and arches, which reminded me the interior of a gothic church. It has plain yet an elegant style. The dome of the mosque is impressive made by wooden beams in "Kirlangic" style, which we learned to be a traditional roof interior in the ancient times of Erzurum.
