Mahmut Paşa Mosque

Mahmut Paşa Camii

Place of worshipLocal favourite

Completed in 1464 for Mehmet II's grand vizier Mahmud Pasha, it was one of the first buildings inside the walls built as a mosque rather than converted from a church. Its double porch recalls a Byzantine church; the mosque was fully restored and reopened in 2021.
