A visit to the great mosque in Sivas

We walked to the Great Mosque in Sivas. It didn't look like a traditional mosque, it's a low flat building with one minaret. As we walked around it we didn't know if it was ok to go inside the courtyard but we did and suddenly a woman came up to us and by signs showed os to follow her inside the building. After taking off the shoes we walked around an also a man came and showed us around also taking pictures of us. There were men sitting on the floor reading the koran. It was all very quite. It was one big room big like football arena and only men apart from one part which only Ulla was allowed to enter where all the women were. It was built in 1196.
