Changes After Construction

  1. The 500-year-old mosque, which was closed in 1958 because it was partially ruined, was opened for worship after restoration work was completed in 2016.

Featured Highlights

  • The meticulous woodwork on the mihrab and minbar is noteworthy.

  • The interior features Baroque-influenced hand-drawn works.

  • Its courtyard is narrow and there is no fountain.

  • Over time, it has become cramped due to the concentration of modern buildings around it.

  • According to foundation records, in addition to the mosque, Hacı Ferhat Agha also donated a primary school and a fountain in the region, but these structures have not survived to the present day.
