Murat Ali Pasha Mosque

The mosque, which has survived with some repairs, preserves its original feature to a large extent and continues its function. The transverse rectangular planned structure measures approximately 13.00x30.60 meters from the outside. There is a mausoleum in the northwest corner of the sanctuary, which is covered with 4 domes of different diameters, and a minaret with a single balcony on the east side of the north façade. In the middle part of the northern façade, it is thought that there was a last congregation place with three rooms. In the wall and cover system of the building, finely cut trachyte stone in yellowish color, basalt stone on the piers, marble material was used on the pulpit and one door. It has a clean workmanship. The massiveness of the walls was eliminated by opening two rows of windows on the façades. Although the mosque is built simply, the striking decorations can be seen at the courtyard door, the mihrab, the pulpit and the wooden mahfil in the western part of the sanctuary. It was built on 1081H./16 September 1670 M.
