The Ottoman inscription of Alaaddin Mosque, located in the center of Avanos District, which gives the date of 1202, was stolen. The structure, whose domed part is thought to be original; It was expanded by adding new units during the Ottoman period. Although the mosque in the courtyard was built with smooth cut stone, it is seen that rubble stone masonry was used in the domed unit. The entrance to the mosque is provided by a low-arched door placed in a baldachin style domed unit shaped by four columns on the axis of the northern façade. The place of the Last Congregation, which has a rectangular plan in the east-west direction where the door opens and is supported by a reinforced arch in the same direction, covered with a pointed vault, was divided into two rooms with two axisymmetrical walls in 1935 in accordance with the function of the Quran Course. The door in the middle unit opens to the main prayer unit with a rectangular plan extending in the east-west direction. The mihrab niche, which is on the same axis as the door, is in the vaulted unit to the west of the sanctuary. The eastern unit, which is thought to be original, is covered with a corner triangle transitional dome. The original minaret of the building is reached by a 15-step staircase adjacent to the eastern wall. However, the minaret is not in place today. The new minaret is in the southeast corner of the building.
