Good to know

  • Sources differ on its date: Turkish Wikipedia gives 1901 (for Abdülhamid II), the metropolitan municipality 1921 (built on the initiative of refugees from occupied İzmir).
  • The small dome on top is a copy added in the 2022 renovation; the original was there until the 1940s.
  • Tekeli Mehmet Paşa Mosque is right next to it and the Yivli Minare a two-minute walk west.
