Ala Church / Mosque

This was built by Romans as a monastery at the beginning of the 2nd century than it was transformed to a castle and a christian basilica by Byzantines, finally it was transformed to a mosque by building a minaret and mihrab by Alauddevle, ruler of Dulkadir, in 1489.

This is located at Osmaniye / Turkey.

It is nice to see traces of islam and christianity in a same place...
