ITS STORY
The mosque was built in 1513 by Hoca Mehmed Muhyiddin Efendi, known as Altıparmak. Severely damaged in the great earthquake of 1855, its minaret was rebuilt in 1967. Today, the building is well-maintained and open for worship, while its graveyard to the east has shrunk over time due to road and house construction.
