Icons in the past, the Greek church building, which has remained the same after conversion to a mosque, a curtain drawn together, so you do not see them praying, but when you open the curtain of the two religions is the brotherhood and tolerance of Alacati. In most parts of Anatolia, cultural heritage, whether that is part of the old churches devastated torn down and converted barn. Alacati is promising in this landscape.
