Alaeddin Mosque The Alaeddin Mosque in Odunpazarı, situated in Eskişehir, Turkey, is a historically significant mosque and a well-known tourist attraction. It was constructed in 1267 during the reign of Seljuk Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev III, and was donated by either Cacaoğlu Cibril or Nureddin, both of whom were followers of Mevlana. Built with rubble masonry, the mosque features a nearly square rectangular layout, crowned with a central octagonal dome that has a diameter of 6.50m (21.3ft), and a flat wooden roof. The entrance, situated on the northern side, leads to the women's section, where intricate Quranic verses are inscribed around the perimeter of the ceiling. The mihrab is located in the southern niche of the mosque and showcases a late Ottoman architectural style. Large, rectangular windows allow ample natural light into the mosque, while the north and side facades feature a two-story window arrangement, adding a unique design element to both ends of the structure. After undergoing several repairs, the mosque lost many of its original features. In 1945, it was closed for worship by executive order and repurposed as an archaeological museum until the creation of the Eskişehir Eti Archaeology Museum. In 2014, the mosque was restored, and some of its original characteristics were partially revived.
