Mehmet Pasha Mosque
It was built in 1486 by Mehmet Pasha, the tulip of Şehzade Ahmet, the son of Bayezid II. The main prayer space of the inverted T-plan mosque is square in shape and its high ceiling is covered with an octagonal drum dome. On the northern facade of the mosque, there is a narthex, which is divided into six sections by seven octagonal columns. Each section is covered with a dome. Columns are connected to each other by marble arches processed in red and white. The mosque is entered through the arched door on the third section from the left, on which the construction inscription of the mosque is located. The entrance door is in the form of a deep niche. The door of the mosque, one of the most beautiful examples of wood carving, is exhibited in the Amasya Museum. Similarly, the marble pulpit of the mosque decorated with lithe branch and leaf motifs is one of the rare examples of Turkish marble workmanship.
