Lo and behold, it had vanished.
The rumours I had heard were in fact sadly true.
After 1963, we heard that it was pulled down and its stones were used in construction elsewhere. It could not have fallen down by itself as it was constructed of large blocks of stone and not mud bricks. There also was a half built minaret, built from the donations of TCs working abroad.
There goes the fallacy of Turkish religious places being untouched.
As I have often mentioned I condemn all destruction of properties whether TC or GC.
Now in its place is a little orchard. How quaint!
The hillock behind is the Strahala, behind which are our vineyards. They have since died and used as corn fields.
The rumour is it was slowly, stone by stone, stolen by migrant Turkish workers and smuggled over the border to make a Stone age like structure so they can sacrifice their first born children , along with cat, and make offerings to the Great Goat of Adana. Bastards!!!!!
B------s Indeed.
