Saraçhane Mosque
The mosque was built by Amasya Emir Şadgeldi Pasha in 1372. While it was a square planned and single-domed building at first, another space was added later, and its plan was turned into a rectangle and covered with a dome. The mosque, where rubble stone and brick materials are used together, has a cylindrical minaret made of brick. The narthex to the north of the mosque consists of seven bays. The interior, which is entered from here, is decorated with pencil works. The domes are covered with tiles and birdhouse examples can be seen on the upper parts of the dome drums. The name of the mosque, which was Şadgeldi Pasha Mosque due to the one who had it built, changed to Saraçhane Mosque since the era of Çelebi Mehmet due to the saddlery shops around it. The mosque has undergone many repairs until today.
