Changes After Construction
The building was constructed as a masjid in 1581.
It underwent a comprehensive repair in 1900.
In 1936-1937, the building was in a very ruined condition.
In this period, the small wooden minaret of another masjid that had been demolished was moved to this building and used as a temporary solution for a short time.
The building was demolished in 1939.
After the site remained vacant for a long time, it was rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1998 and the place of worship was re-established.
Featured Highlights
The building is also known as Geredeli Masjid and Kızıl Masjid.
The present building is the product of the reconstruction process in the late 20th century, and its structural system is reinforced concrete.
Inside, the minbar and preaching pulpit are wooden; it is recorded that the mihrab was arranged with tile cladding.
The minaret has a single-balcony arrangement.
The immediate surroundings of the building historically formed part of a public setting read together with a large imperial mosque structure and monumental fountains; this context shows that the masjid had a relationship with a broader public environment beyond the scale of the neighborhood.
