The Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital stands in the small Anatolian town of Divriği, in Sivas Province, Turkey, in the upper town below the citadel. Built in 1228–1229 by the local Mengujekid dynasty, the stone complex combines a mosque with a hospital in Anatolian Seljuk architecture. Its exquisite stone carvings and eclectic design earned it a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1985.
