Çapanoğlu Mosque

The Çapanoğlu (Grand) Mosque is one of the important examples in Anatolia carrying Turkish architectural features that emerged under European influence during the Ottoman Empire. The interior and exterior sections of the structure were built at two different dates. The inner section of the mosque was built in 1779, while the outer section was built in 1795. The mosque with its thin minaret, high domed cupola and towers on the corners can be seen from all over the city and is one of the symbolic structures of Yozgat.
