Yağ Cami, located in the old town of Adana, Turkey, is the city's oldest mosque. Originally constructed as the Surp Hagop Armenian Apostolic Church in the second half of the thirteenth century during the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, the building was converted to a mosque around 1380 by Ramazanoğlu Bey Şihabeddin Ahmed following his conquest of the city. The structure reflects Armenian architectural traditions and later became part of a larger külliye complex that included a madrasah.
