Changes After Construction
It is stated in the sources that the portico was left incomplete during the repair in 1950.
Its minbar was placed by Hacı Seyyid Muhammed Efendi, who was the preacher of Süleymaniye Mosque and became the Imam of Sultan.
The mosque, which fell into disrepair over time, was rebuilt by local tradesmen in 1950 and a brick-lined narthex with two spaces and two domes was added.
It was damaged in the 1999 earthquake and was later repaired.
Featured Highlights
The mosque is entered from the door on the right.
It has a single dome and sits on an 8-meter diamond-shaped belt.
Since it is located on a valuable plot of land, the buildings on its left side have been joined together up to the mosque, so no windows can be opened here.
It is illuminated by 5 lower, 4 upper and 4 drum windows.
Today, the mosque is in a pit due to the rise in road levels.
The walls are built with stones and bricks.
The stone primary school belonging to the mosque still exists today.
In the courtyard of the mosque is the tomb of its founder, Yavaşça Şahin Mehmed Ali Pasha.
