It was built between 1237-1246 by Mahperi Hatun, the wife of Alaeddin Keykubad and the mother of II. Keyhüsrev. Consisting of a mosque, madrasa, tomb and bath, this complex is one of the most beautiful and most important examples of Seljuk works in Anatolia, both in general appearance and in the way it was built. The covered area of complex is 2,203 square meters. The main entrance door on the west side of the mosque is decorated with a masterpiece arabesque ornament. At the top of the door, it is written a verse from Holly Quran, like that: “Only those who believe in Allah and the Doom Day, perform prayers properly, pay zakat, and fear no one but Allah can build and repair the mosques of Allah. These are the ones who are hoped to be among those who are on the right path.” In its inscription, it is written: "The father of conquests, the help and safety of the world and religion, Keykubad's son, a high-ranking ascetic, righteous, worldly and religious purity, the pioneer of goodness, the great mother, ordered the construction of this blessed mosque. May Allah keep the shadow of her majesty always and multiply her power. This structure was built in the month of Shawwal in six hundred thirty-five years.” The mosque has three gates. They open to the north, west and east. The main gate is on the west. Mahperi Hatun's tomb is located at the north end of the mosque, on the left side of the entrance of this door.
During the Seljuk period, the title "Huvand" was given to the Seljuk Palace family as a special title. Since Mahperi Hatun also used this title, the mosque was translated into Turkish from Huvane and named "Hunat Mosque". It has a mihrab and a pulpit with a very high historical value. The ceiling, which is placed on arches fed by forty-eight large pillars, is in the form of a vault. The dome in the middle was built later. Its minaret was built during the reign of Abdulhamid II. The rear part of the mosque was used as a summer residence during the Seljuk period. Later, it was completely closed and brought into its present form.
