		Selçuk photos of Selçuk    part 1 15 of 31 The Isa Bey Mosque (Isa Bey Camii), built 1375, viewed from the Basilica of St. John. Isa Bey Mosque was built in 1375 by Prince Isay Bey of the Aydinid Turks, a Turcoman clan which conquered Ephesus in 1304 and ruled much of Anatolia during the first half of the 14th century. The outer courtyard, where worshippers wash before praying, is surrounded by a high stone wall. Only part of one of its two rounded minarets survives. It is often written that this is a fine example of early Turkish architecture.   photo: © David John Selçuk main gallery Part 1 the town Part 2 Selçuk Archaeological Museum Part 3 Serbian dancers visit Selçuk See also: Ephesus the nearby archaeological site < page 1: introduction to Selçuk Copyright © 2003-2012 My Favourite Planet  |  contributors  |  impressum  |  index of contents  |  sitemap
