Salih Paşa İbni Meddas Mosque

In 1647, Grand Vizier Salih Pasha had a surrounding wall and a fountain added to the mosque.
In 1830, the mosque underwent extensive renovation and acquired its current appearance.
The fountain built by Salih Pasha was restored in 1912 by a philanthropist named Zeynep Hanım.
Between 1977 and 1980, a second floor was added and an extensive restoration was carried out.

It is also known as Paşmakzade Mosque.
The mosque has a rectangular plan and a wooden roof. The front and side walls are made of rubble stone, and the mihrab wall is made of brick beams.
There is a direct entrance to the Harim, there is no narthex. The upper gallery is a wooden platform supported by two wooden poles.
The mihrab, minbar and preacher’s pulpit have recently been renovated in marble. There are three long round-arched windows on the east wall of the prayer hall, one on each side of the mihrab and one on each side of the entrance door.
The most striking feature of the mosque is the location of the minaret. The minaret, which is usually located in the right corner, is here located in the middle part parallel to the qibla wall. The minaret is plastered with cement and the bricks under the balcony have a special arrangement.
