Selahaddin Eyyubi Mosque (Saint Johannes Prodromos Addai Church)
It is estimated that the church, which is also called a cathedral because it was the largest church in the region, was built in the early 19th century on the ruins of the Church of St. John the Baptist, built by Bishop Nona in 457. After being idle for a long time, it was renovated and opened as a mosque in 1993. The entrance of the mosque is in the west, and the last congregation place was built based on the narthex (entrance section) of the previous church. The place of worship is illuminated by wide windows. On the edges of the windows on the building, there are half columns remaining from the church and embossments of dragons entangled with each other. Since the first church was used as a mosque by Selahaddin Eyyubi for some time, the building was called by this name when it was converted into a mosque.
