The site of the city information has, translated and somewhat adapted: This mosque, which was built by Mimar Sinan in 1573, whose hometown was Kayseri and whose real name was Hacı Ahmet Paşa Mosque, was named "Kurşunlu Mosque" due to its central dome covered with lead. The mosque is the only [remaining?] work of Mimar Sinan, who made 12 works in the city, Kurşunlu Mosque and Fountain 03 in Kayseri. It attracts attention with its interior decorations, pulpit and domed fountain carried by pointed arches stepping on eight columns in the courtyard. Kurşunlu Mosque, a classical Ottoman period architectural work, is one of the most beautiful mosques in Kayseri in terms of decoration. The last congregation place [the portal in front] of the mosque, built with cut stone, has double porticoes, as in Mimar Sinan's Mihrimah, Atik Valide and Eminönü Rüstem Pasha mosques in Üsküdar, Istanbul.

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.
