Aslanhane (Ahi Şerafettin) Mosque

The mosque which is next to the Ankara Citadel is one of the oldest mosques in Türkiye still standing. It was built during the reign of Anatolian Seljuks in 1290. The tomb of Ahi Şerafettin after whom the mosque was named is located opposite the mosque itself. An ancient marble lion statue which is buried in the wall of his tomb gives the mosque its commonly known name as "Aslanhane", which means the house of the lion.
