Cezayirli Gazi Hasanpaşa Mosque

In 1781, extensive repairs were made by Cezayirli Hasan Pasha and a fountain was added adjacent to the graveyard.
After this restoration, the mosque began to be called the Cezayirli Hasan PashaMosque.

It bears traces of both 16th century and 18th century Ottoman architecture.
The fountain, built adjacent to the graveyard, is an important social structure added to the mosque by Cezayirli Hasan Pasha.
It has a short, broad-based minaret with a single balcony. The upper part of theminaret is completed with a pointed cone like in classical Ottoman mosques.
The main facade of the building is quite plain and sparsely decorated. Its small,arched windows are striking.
Its red-tiled roof and light-colored exterior give it a more modest appearance than traditional Ottoman mosques.
The mihrab is faced with stone and contains a traditional arched niche.
The wooden minbar is simple, but it bears the characteristics of traditional Ottoman mosques with the details on its upper part.
It forms a historical complex together with the surrounding cemetery.
The mosque is an important work in terms of Istanbul’s maritime history and Ottoman cultural heritage, with the contributions of both Cerrah Mahmut Efendi and Cezayirli Hasan Pasha.
