Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Pictures showing the interior from several sides. The mosque was built for Hacı Mehmed Ağa in 1585, Chief of the Black Eunuchs under Murat III. It is one of a few buildings that can (because of an inscription on site) be attributed to Davut Ağa, Sinans successor as Chief Architect to the sultan. It has a dome of 11 meters, resting on an octagonal base. It’s surrounded by quarter domes in the corners and a half dome over the mihrab niche. Tiles are attributed to Iznik or Kütahya, and are very good. So much so that, when I asked the Imam about an empty space and suggested the tiles that should be there were being restored, he answered “They’re in Bagdad”. I understood they were stolen. During restorations some of its pillars were changed. |
