The ruins near Pionerskoe village, situated in Simferopol region, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (former Eski Saray, later — Monetnoe village), are traditionally identifi ed as the remains of the Kalga-Sultan`s palace complex — his mint or residence and mosque dated from the 14th—15th centuries. The archaeological research in 1991 did not confirm that a mint might have existed here. The construction of the mosque dates back to the end of the second quarter of the 18th century.
