Wooden Hypostyle Mosques of Medieval Anatolia - Turkey

This serial property is comprised of five hypostyle mosques built in Anatolia between the late 13th and mid-14th centuries, each located in a different province of present-day Türkiye. 

The unusual structural system of the mosques combines an exterior building envelope built of masonry with multiple rows of wooden interior columns (“hypostyle”) that support a flat wooden ceiling and the roof. 

These mosques are known for the skilful woodcarving and handiwork used in their structures, architectural fittings, and furnishings.
