Mosque

Hafız Ahmet Paşa Mosque

The complex, whose minaret was damaged in an earthquake in 1763, was renovated in the Baroque style.
Although the complex and the surrounding structures were damaged in the Cibali-Fatih fire in 1918, no comprehensive repair work was carried out.
When the madrasah building became the subject of dormitory construction attempts in the 1960s, it was decided that the building should be preserved and restored.
The complex was revived with partial restorations carried out between 1976 and 1991.
The tomb, fountain and public fountain were rebuilt with a comprehensive restoration carried out in 1995-1996.

Hafiz Ahmed Pasha Complex was built as a complex consisting of a mosque, a madrasah, Darülkurra, a shrine, a fountain and a primary school. The structures of the complex were made of cut stone.
The mosque has a rectangular plan. There is a large dome in the middle and two square rooms with smaller domes on the sides. The mosque is adjacent to the courtyard and has a simple and elegant structure in the classical Ottoman style.
The minaret is located to the right of the central space; it was rebuilt in the Baroque style during the earthquake of 1763. There are relief motifs on the balcony railing.
Darülkurra is next to the main gate of the mosque , has two floors, and has stonework compatible with the complex.
The shrine, located adjacent to the mosque, has a square plan and a dome. It has been revived.
The fountain at the corner of the tomb has a door opening onto the street and was originally designed in the Baroque style.
The fountain is located to the west of the madrasah, with a pointed arch and cut stone work.
