Featured Highlights
The mosque has a square plan and is built of brick and stone. Its minbar is made of wood.
The gallery surrounding the prayer hall is supported by five wooden columns. The mihrab has been rebuilt recently. The renewed mihrab is decorated with tiles. The minaret has a thick body, a single balcony and a stone spire.
The mosque was completely rebuilt. It is understood that the side galleries were a later addition, as they are divided into two at the level of the edges of the windows. The ceiling is slatted. In recent years, a very luxurious mihrab has been built in the mosque.
To the right of the entrance door of the mosque is a mirror stone rococo fountain with a 7-couplet inscription on it. The inscription states that the first fountain was a Mehmedian structure and that it was renovated by the fourth wife of Sultan Mahmud II when it fell into disrepair.
It is also known as the “Hoca Üveys Mosque”.
