Changes After Construction
The mosque, which fell into disrepair over time, was repaired in 1902 by Şevket Pasha, a military dignitary from the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II
The upper part of the minaret, after the balcony collapsed as a result of a lightning strike in 1926, was repaired in 1974
And there are different narrations that the benefactor himself is buried in Rhodes (Murat Reis Tomb Graveyard) or in Malatya.
