For on this door never met in the art of Seljuks, there is an inscription dated 1228 and the surface of which is covered with plant motifs rich in number. This door is called "Textile door" by some scientists, for it is likened to a material adorned with matchless motifs. There are one eagle on the right side and one on the left side of the door with two heads and one eagle with one head on the surface of Niche; this symbol, used as a symbol of wealth and strength by many rulers, has never been designed so elegantly anywhere else.

The Shah door, on the eastern side is also known as "Taht door". Its surface is adorned with plant, geometric, star and coil of hair motifs. The Minaret lies at the north-west corner. This minaret with circle body was rebuilt by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman in 1523 after the main minaret had been pulled down.
