Çatmalı Mescid Mosque
- Changes the building has undergone since its construction
- According to a folk tale, Çatmalı Mosque was built when Güzelce Kasım Pasha’s daughter, Belkıs Hanım, asked her father to build a mosque in her name with the materials left over from the construction of his father’s Cami-i Kebir (Grand Mosque). The name of the mosque remained as “Çatmalı Mosque” due to this cramped (tr. çatmalı) construction.
