Edirne
Uc Serefeli Mosque and Külleyi
1437 - 1447


The Üç Serefeli Mosque, named after its unusual wound minaret, was built by Murad II. Damaged in the 1752 earthquake, the mosque was repaired in 1763 by order of Mahmud III. A major restoration took place in 1930, with additional work on frescoes in 1999. The Koranic School (mekteb) and the soup kitchen (imaret) of the larger complex no longer exist while the two medrese- and the hammam have survived in heavily restored condition. They can be seen on the satellite image.
