XVI. Yüzyılda Ermenek Camileri ve Cami Vakıfları

Ermenek, today which is a county of Karaman, was the first capital of Beylik of Karaman. Because of this reason, there are a lot of sacred and social buildings which are built during the period of this Emirate. Among these buildings, mosques are of a greater importance. In this article; Ulu, Sipas and Meydan Mosques are discussed according to the data’s of 16th century Evkaf Tahrir records. The waqfiyas, attendants and the incomes & expenses of these mosques are discussed as well as their architectural features that reflect the Karamans age architectural features. These temples are (some sort of) widespread education institutes besides their religious functions. Mosques, at first performed their services by their builder’s and later, by the Waqfs that are supported by benefactors. The mosques mentioned here are still whole and in service, despite they have been restored in the course of time.
