Changes After Construction
The east wing of the madrasa structure has completely disappeared.
Only the west and north walls have survived to the present day.
At the end of the west wing, there is an entrance opening with an inscription dated Hijri 1197 (1783–1784).
At the end of the reconstruction process carried out in the complex in the 1990s, the mosque was rebuilt between 1990 and 1994; the remains of the madrasa were preserved at wall level.

On the west wall, there are five windows with marble jambs; on the north wall, there is one doorway opening at the lower level and a total of six rectangular window openings at the upper level.
