The mosque with the kesik minare, "truncated minaret", (1361) is in fact an ancient Byzantine church dating from the 6th century and which celebrated the Virgin Mary. The church itself was built from the remains of a 2nd century Roman temple. Its minaret, now a damaged tower, continues to arouse curiosity and stands out above the ruins of the building, which partially burned down in the 19th century. These monuments can be seen from a distance as they are not open to the public.
