The Alaüddevle Mosque is a historical former Sunni mosque in Gaziantep built under the administration of Ala al-Dawla Bozkurt Beg of the Turkoman principality of Dulkadir, in modern-day Turkey.
Overview
The mosque is thought to have been built before 1515, when Bozkurt Beg died. Its construction was overseen by Armenians; architect Armenak Effendi and foreman Kirkor. Although a mosque, it bears features of local churches. The mihrab of the mosque includes a pediment and columns.[1][2]
On 6 February 2023, the mosque was damaged by two consecutive earthquakes.[3]
