| Divrixc4x9fi Great Mosque and Hospital (Turkish: Divrixc4x9fi Ulu Cami ve Darxc3xbcxc5x9fxc5x9fifasxc4xb1) is an ornately decorated mosque and hospital complex built in 1228xe2x80x931229 by the local dynasty of the Mengujekids in the small Anatolian town of Divrixc4x9fi, now in Sivas Province, Turkey. | WIKI |
| The building complex consists of a mosque which adjoins the hospital with which it shares its southern, qibla wall. | WIKI |
| The main entrance to the mosque is on the northern side and is marked by a tall portal which is celebrated for the quality and density of its high-relief stone carving. | WIKI |
| An entrance on the western side may be from a later date as this faxc3xa7ade of the mosque had collapsed and was rebuilt at a later date when it was also strengthened by a round buttress on the north-western corner. | WIKI |
| A third entrance to the mosque is located on the eastern faxc3xa7ade. | WIKI |
| This entrance appears to have served as a royal entrance which gave access to the raised wooden platform in the southeastern corner of the mosque's interior, reserved for the ruler and his entourage. | WIKI |
| A curious detail is the use of shadows of the 3 dimensional ornaments of both entrances of the mosque part, to cast a giant shadow of a praying man that changes pose as the sun moves, as if to illustrate what the purpose of the building is. | WIKI |
| The interior of the mosque consists of stone piers which support the stone vaults above. | WIKI |
| The central bay of the mosque appears to have been left open to the sky, as is the case in other medieval Anatolian mosques which omit courtyards. | WIKI |
| Some of the original wooden furnishings of the mosque survive along its qibla wall, such as the shutters on the window opening to the tomb chamber within the hospital and its wooden minbar dated to 1243 and signed by the craftsman Ibrahxc4xabm b. Ahmad al-Tiflxc4xabsxc4xab. | WIKI |
| Different in design from the north portal of the mosque, the hospital portal is framed by a monumental pointed arch and features a window in the center. | WIKI |
| The stone carving here is of the same quality as the main mosque portal but is less dense and appears, in certain places, to be unfinished. | WIKI |
| This room has a window opening to the mosque. | WIKI |
| The name of the chief architect is inscribed in the interior of both the mosque and the hospital and has been read as Khurramshxc4x81h b. Mughxc4xabth al-Khilxc4x81txc4xab. | WIKI |
| The north portal of the mosque gives the date of 626 AH (1228-9) and the name of its patron as Ahmadshxc4x81h b. Sulaymxc4x81n, who is one of the rulers of the Divrixc4x9fi branch of the Mengujekids. | WIKI |

| Located on the slopes below the castle of Divrixc4x9fi, Sivas Province in central eastern Turkey, the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrixc4x9fi is a remarkable building combining a monumental hypostyle mosque with a two storey hospital, which includes a tomb. | UNESCO |
| Founded by the Mengxc3xbccekide emir Ahmed Shah following the victory of the Seljuk Turks over the Byzantine army at the battle of Malazgirt in 1071, the mosque is dominated externally by the hexagonal, pointed roofed dome over its mihrab (prayer niche), a cupola over the ablutions basin in the centre of the prayer hall and elaborately carved monumental stone portals on the north and west. | UNESCO |
| The vaulting of the hospital room is comparable in scientific achievement to that of the prayer hall of the Mosque, and shares the splendid unity of the Great Mosque. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (iv): The Divrixc4x9fi Mosque is an outstanding example of a Seljuk mosque in Anatolia, as it neither has a courtyard, colonnades nor an uncovered ablutions basin, but rather organizes all religious functions in an enclosed area, owing perhaps to the harshness of the climate. | UNESCO |
| The Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrixc4x9fi remain intact retaining the key attributes carrying Outstanding Universal Value. | UNESCO |
