The türbe or mausoleum is the building to the right. The Ibrahim Bey Imaret dates from 1433. It was a continuation of the Seljuk style, it is in the tradition of the Karatay Medrese and the Ince Minare Medrese in Konya. Archnet has "Plainer in style than Seljuk architecture, the imaret is one of the best examples of Karamanid building. ". The inner court is covered. To the right side of the mosque there is the türbe of the founder, emir Ibrahim Bey. In front of the mosque stands the Ibrahim Bey Çeşmesi, also built in Seljuk style. To the right side of the mosque there is the türbe of the founder, Karamanoğlu emir Ibrahim Bey. The name ‘Soup kitchen of Ibrahim Bey’ could be somewhat misleading, since it was founded as a külliye (complex) for the poor and the travellers, including a mescid (small mosque), a çeşme (fountain), a tabhane (hostel), a medrese (school) and the founder’s tomb, apart from the name-giving aşevi (kitchen). The main building (this is: without the mausoleum) measures 20 x 26 m, and has two floors. The complex was last restored in 1964/65 and in 2007.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
