As the Metropolitan Municipality, we are working intensively to preserve all the cultural and historical values that our city possesses and to revive them in their original form. One of the many restoration projects we are carrying out in this context is the 120-year-old mosque in Kurucuova Neighborhood, which is affiliated with the Beyşehir district.
