The mosque is used for worship and seen as a focus of interest due to being a mosque which Mesir paste is scattered through the people. In the literature, it has been noted that there are some researches about the architectural properties of the building, but there is no research about the acoustic conditions of the mosque. The evaluation of the acoustical conditions of historical mosques considered as cultural heritage, identification of the interventions that affect the acoustical conditions adversely and improvement suggestions are important for these buildings to hand down the next generations. In this study, the history, architectural items, interior materials and measured acoustical conditions of the Sultan Mosque, which is identified as a working area, are determined and evaluated.
