The building also known as “Mimar Atik Sinan Masjid” has a simple architectural feature and has a rectangular plan. Its mihrab is made of tiles, the minbar and the pulpit are made of concrete and have been given a colored marble appearance.
“İhlas-i Şerif” (Surah Ikhlas, one of the chapters of the Holy Quran) is written on its flat concrete ceiling.
The mosque has a roof and is covered with tiles.
The skirtings of the interior walls are halfway covered with ceramics.
Its single-balcony minaret dates back to the 19th century.
It has no courtyard.
When it was first built, the mosque consisted of a masjid, a dervish lodge and a school.
The mosque’s name is also known as the “Kumrulu Masjid” due to the double dove relief on the mirror stone of the small non-flowing fountain in the corner of the masjid.
Its benefactor, Sinanüddin bin Yusuf, is buried in the small graveyard of the masjid; the date 1471 is written on his tombstone decorated with motifs of the period.
