Arapgir-Malatya Attractions

Grand Mosque and Hankah

The Arapgir Grand Mosque, which you have to put in a different place than all the mosques you have seen so far, does not have an inscription to be found. When you see the pendentives and belts built by the Ilkhanians, a Turkish tribe, dated to the 14th century as a result of the works, embroidered with an embroidered mihrab, without exaggeration but with flawless craftsmanship, you will agree with us. The geometric shapes reveal the development of the art understanding of this Turkish tribe in stone embroidery and these features that distinguish them from other tribes. Hankah, which is right next to the mosque, consists of two parts, and this Karabaş-ı Veli Lodge includes the mosque and çilehane sections.

Arapgir Castle

The channel network, which is specially designed for the castle structure and carrying drinking water to the region, separates this untouched castle from the others. The walls of this untouched building, which has not yet been excavated, are decorated with stones and strengthened with lime mortar.

Meydan Bridge

This bridge, designed for the passing of Silk Road caravans from one end of Kozluk Stream to the other, has two arches. The adjacent Sultan Murat Bridge and Meydan Bridge are both made of cut stone and are still used by the local people today.

Mosques

The most famous and largest mosques in the district, which has many mosques built in different years, are as follows; Molla Eyüp Mosque, Mir-i Liva Ahmet Paşa Mosque, Cafer Paşa Mosque, Gümrükçü Osman Paşa Mosque. Since these structures are historical, they are among the places we would definitely recommend you to include in your Arapgir-Malatya trip plan.

Armenian Church

The building, whose real name is the Apostalik Church in the sources, belongs to the Armenians, whose number was over 11 thousand at the time. Although these people are the pioneers of crafts such as winemaking and spinning in the region, their number is very low today.
