Edirne, my back yard, and Tbilisi!

Interior of the Alaeddin Camii. Wooden minbar allegedly from the 13th century Alaeddin Camii. Unfinished Kumbet at the Alaeddin Mosque, Konya. Young boy playing in the courtyard of the Alaeddin mosque, Konya. Remains of the Alaeddin Kosku. The dilapidated covering is from the 60s... Sircali Mederese, Konya. Sahip Ata complex entrance. Sahip Ata complex museum, Konya. Whirling Dirvishes in Konya. apparently the most realistic ceremony open to the public. Entrance to the Karatay Han. A headless man gutter spout at the Karatay...
