Built in the 14th century, the Isa Bey Mosque stands as a remarkable example of Selcuk architecture near the ancient city of Ephesus in Selçuk, Turkey. This architectural gem features an asymmetrical design with intricate carvings and calligraphy inscriptions adorning its western facade. Inside, visitors can admire the green and turquoise tiles that decorate the interior, while outside, a preserved brick minaret rises on the north side. Two impressive domes crown the center, adding to the mosque’s grandeur. Today, the Isa Bey Mosque offers a unique glimpse into the pre-Ottoman architectural style, making it a significant site for those interested in history and design.
