Ulu Cami

Reviewed By 419nilaya - Istanbul, Turkey

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.
