If you are going to Afyon, I advise you to visit this oldest mosque of the city of the 13th century. Its interior does not leave anyone indifferent. Near the mosque there is a staircase on the mountain to the city fortress, and within walking distance there are many family cafes.

Hacıvelioglu Mansion was built in 1897. Its importance today mainly comes from its role in the War of Independence. It was used as a military headquarter by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk during the Independence War. Ataturk stayed in this house for a night and marched to Kocatepe that is 20 km to the west of Suhut where the Turkish army started large-scale attacks against the Greek forces.

The construction of the building was finished in 1906. The mansion is a two-storey building with a penthouse on the roof. It is one of the example structures which are facade architecture for social purposes. After the restoration it is redecorated as to reflect the traditional Afyonkarahisar life style at the time of its construction.
