Changes After Construction
This mosque was destroyed in the Balat fire of 1729 and was rebuilt by Melek Ahmed Agha by adding a school next to it, as the state officials ordered the mosques that were burned in this fire to be rebuilt.
In 1954, the mosque was occupied and used as a foundry, and later it was revived and opened for worship by an association established by the locals.
