4 July, Divriği
Otel Ninni 60TL (negotiated down from 70TL)

Divriği is home to a Unesco World Heritage site, the Great Mosque and Hospital, built between 1228 and 1243. It is the carvings around the entrances to the mosque and hospital that demand your attention and admiration. According to the brochure: “Another unique aspect of this monument is that though the decorative sculptures seem symmetrical when viewed from a distance, they are in fact asymmetrical consisting of tens of thousands of distinct designs, none of which are repeated. Its architectural style and the balanced and harmonial decoration and vaulting have placed it high on the list of the world’s great monuments. Centuries ago Evliya Çelebi expressed his despair at finding words adequate to describe this enchanting monument by saying, “Tongues are mute, pencils are broken”.
