Sivas is home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divrigi. The mosque features a hexagonal pointed roof dome over the prayer niche, and features elaborately carved monumental stone portals on the north and west. There are five naves each of which is topped by more intricately carved stone vaults. The hospital, which was founded in 1228 features a monumental stone portal and double atrium, with the rooms located around a central pool.
The site is considered a masterpiece of Islamic architecture due to the highly sophisticated technique used in the construction of the stone vaults and their elaborate decoration. Each decoration within the portal is completely unique — these include the only known examples of 3D geometric plants in this style. Similar to the dome of the Great Mosque, the vaulting of the hospital is a notable scientific achievement. The site is relatively intact and underwent major reconstructions in the 15th, 19th and 20th centuries.
