Ulu camii or the old mosque is being restored and a lot of areas was closed off. From the pictures it looked really sumptuous.
The really striking feature that we can see is this facade. It looked like the columns and lintels have been culled from a different source, possibly a Roman or Byzantine ruin. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Pity we couldn't see more but it is worth a trip back one day when it's finished.
