Changes After Construction
The minbar was added by Kadızâde Mehmed Efendi in 1688.
It underwent major repairs and some additions were made in 1848 and 1895.
In 1967-1968, a façade was built from brick and stone to try to give it a form true to the original.
Unlike the old structure, walls were built on both sides of the front façade.
Featured Highlights
The walls of the mosque are built of cut stone and brick.
The mosque is a “fevkani” (elevated, upper-storey) and masonry structure.
It is known as the “Sarı Timurci Mosque”.
Its roof is made of wood and tiles, and it has one door at the top and one at the bottom.
Additions were made on both sides of the building, and the single-balcony minaret forms a protrusion into the narthex. Its cone has an onion body. The plastered additional parts of the minaret are immediately noticeable.
Its old walls are crafted with 2 rows of bricks and 1 row of roughly hewn stone.
The Quranic verse "Prayer is an obligation upon the believers at certain times" (Nisa, 103) is written in beautiful Arabic calligraphy above the lower door.
The inscription of the mosque, which is accessed by stairs, is above the outer door.
