Courtyard Entrance, Isa Bey Mosque, Selcuk, Izmir, Turkey

Courtyard entrance of the Isa Bey Mosque, built 1374-5, Selcuk, near Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. The mosque was built in Seljuk style under the Emir of Aydin in honour of the Aydinid Isa Bey. Here we see the courtyard entrance with a honeycomb niche under the arch, with the brick minaret above. Columns and stones from the ruins of the nearby Greek and Roman city of Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis were incorporated into the building. The mosque was restored in 1934.
