Ulu Cami

The town's other sights are southeast of Hükümet Meydanı along Cemal Gürsel and Cumhuriyet Caddesis; walk just past the southern end of the park and turn left onto Cemal Gürsel Caddesi.

The Ulu Cami 9Great Mosque; 1197) is Sivas' oldest significant building, and one of Anatolia's oldest mosques. Built by the Danışmends, it's a large, low room with a forest of 50 columns. The super-fat leaning brick minaret was added in 1213. Inside, 11 handmade stone bands surround the main praying area and the ornate mihrab was discovered during renovations in 1955. It has a certain old-Anatolian charm, slightly marred by modern additions.
