Located in the city center of Karaman, the İmaret Mosque was built in 1451 by Ibrahim Bey II of the Karamanid dynasty. A 1431 endowment deed stipulated that the mosque could provide for the needs of all those in need free of charge, but this was strictly regulated. Built as a multi-functional structure, it is two-story, with a closed courtyard and four iwans (vaulted halls).
The mosque is entirely constructed of cut stone. Marble is used in places on the main entrance, while colored stones are used on the minaret and entrance gate. Muqarnas decorations are featured on the main entrance gate and the minaret. The wooden door panels of the entrance gate and the domed rooms are noteworthy examples of 15th-century Karamanid woodworking.
