Hacı Evliya Mosque

The mosque, which fell into disrepair over time, was repaired by Hacı Tevfik Bey in 1874.
The Hacı Evliya Fountain, located opposite the mosque, was moved a few meters back as part of the restoration in 2024 and preserved.

It is also known as “Mevlanakapı” or “Evliya Mosque”.
The mosque was built by Evliya Mehmed Efendi, who participated in the Revan Expedition of Sultan Murad IV.
In its courtyard, there is a marble tomb thought to belong to Hacı Tevfik Bey, who had the mosque repaired in 1874.
Opposite the mosque is the Hacı Evliya Fountain, made of cut stone and decorated with floral motifs, which was built in the 17th century and restored and moved to its new location in 2024.
The mosque, located in a small courtyard, has a rectangular plan and its walls are made of cut stone. The minbar and the preacher’s pulpit are wooden. The mihrab is made of plaster and is decorated with a curtain motif.
The ceiling is covered with wooden bars and the roof is covered with tiles. On the right side of the entrance is the muezzin’s gallery and on the upper part is the women’s gallery.
There are three long windows on the right and left walls, and one long window on each side of the minbar. The walls are covered with paneling up to the bottom of the windows.
The minaret on the left, which bears the characteristics of the 17th century, is made of cut stone including the balcony and has a single balcony.
