14:00 Depart for Erzurum. Part of our team heads for Divriği by cutting through a forest region. At Divriği, the sites of the mosques and hospital are overwhelming in terms of size. Within the sites, we observed the beginnings of bioclimatic architecture. The mosques observed have the same archeological style as the original Seltzoukic structures of the 12th and 13th centuries. The mosque and hospital have an impressive entrance, decorated with geometric motif that are also found in central Asia. It should be mentioned that the floor plans have similarities to Kisterkiana monasteries in Northern Italy. We observe this connection between cultures of the East and West.
19:30 Depart from Divriği. Our experience in the interior of Anatolia is amazing.
1:00 Arrival and overnight in Erzurum.
