History
Azeb Bey Mosque was built by Abdullah’s son Azeb Bey in AH 860 / AD 1456. The tomb of the mosque’s founder is located right next to the building. Reflecting the characteristic features of early Ottoman architecture, the mosque is a single-domed, square-plan building with parapet wall and a three- bay narthex, like its counterparts in Bursa.
Architecture
Erken Osmanlı mimarisinin karakteristik özelliklerini yansıtan cami, Bursa’daki benzerleri gibi tek kubbeli, kare planlı, kalkan duvarlı ve üç gözlü son cemaat yerine sahip bir yapıdır. Minare formu da Bursa camilerine özgüdür ve bu mimari geleneğin önemli bir halkası niteliğindedir.
