Mosque

Selmanağa Mosque

It was repaired in 1895, during the period of Galip Pasha’s Ministry of Evkaf (Foundations).
A new courtyard gate with cut stone arches was built in 1965.
It was restored in the 1990s.

The walls of the mosque are made of stone and brick, the roof is wooden and covered with lead.
Its minbar and narthex are made of wood; it has functioned for many years with its simple and original appearance.
The brick minaret on the right is old and has a cut stone base.
On the right side of the courtyard gate at the entrance to the mosque are the three-faced Horhor Fountain and the tomb of Selman Agha, the founder of the mosque, dating back to 1508.
The execution of Selman Agha and the fact that his grave is located next to the mosque add an interesting story to this historical structure.
The plan of the mosque is square and receives light through its lower and upper windows; the upper windows have stained glass.
In the outer corner, there is a three-faced fountain decorated with tiles; the tiles on the fountain enrich the historical texture.
