Ankara - Ahi Elvan Camii

This small 13th century mosque south of the Arslanhane Camii in Ankara was renovated in 1413, resulting in the building seen today. Endowed by the Ahi brotherhood it is a typical "forest mosque", with a flat timber ceiling supported on twelve wooden columns. Note also the carving on the staircase pulpit and window shutters (1413/14).
