Changes After Construction

  1. Sinan Agha had the mosque built in the 15th century.

  2. The original structure fell into ruin over time; by the 20th century, its structural integrity had disappeared.

  3. In 1995, charitable citizens had the mosque rebuilt.

  4. The mosque seen on the site after 1995 is a reinforced-concrete reconstruction; some of the remains of the original structure remained under the ground, and some disappeared.

Featured Highlights

  • The present-day structure is a reinforced-concrete reconstruction.

  • The interior contains a wooden ceiling arrangement; in the central part of the ceiling, there is an ornamental composition framing the chandelier and defined by an inscription-band arrangement.

  • There are graves/graveyard in the courtyard; this links the mosque, together with the place of worship, to a layer of remembrance/visitation.
