Description

The Wooden Hypostyle Mosques of Medieval Anatolia (Turkish: Anadolu'nun Orta Çağ Dönemi Ahşap Hipostil Camileri) are a World Heritage Site consisting of five Seljuk mosques in Anatolia dating back to the late 13th and mid-14th centuries. Afyon Grand Mosque, Aslanhane Mosque, Eşrefoğlu Mosque, Mahmut Bey Mosque, and Sivrihisar Grand Mosque were included in the tentative list of World Heritage Sites in 2018 under the name "Wooden Roofed and Wooden Columned Mosques in Anatolia". In 2023, the site became a World Heritage Site when UNESCO recognized the mosques for their outstanding universal values.
