Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On a website I found, translated and edited: Located in the Kurtuluş Neighborhood of the Tire district of Izmir, this mosque was built in 1589 by the Janissary Kethüdası Behram Pasha. It was built in the form of a complex consisting of a mosque, a madrasa, shops, a Bimarhane (psychiatric hospital) and a fountain. The madrasa and hospital of the building community burned down in 1914, and only the mosque and shops have survived to the present day. It is understood from the foundation and archive records that the mosque was repaired in 1665, 1887 and 1961. The mosque is a square planned structure made of cut stone, and it is the largest mosque after the Great Mosque in Tire. The dome covering the place of worship is provided with muqarnas and Turkish triangles. In addition, the dome, which was covered with lead from the outside, is supported by buttresses. In front of the mosque, there is a three-section narthex with domes carried by four columns. Its mihrab and pulpit are made of marble, and date back to the XVI century. It is decorated with motifs reflecting the 19th century style. The women's mahfili in its interior is wooden on columns. It is understood from the inscription on one of the column bracelets in the narthex that the decorations inside the mosque were made by Osman from Kasımpaşa in 1597. The minaret, located in the northwest of the mosque was damaged due to a lightning strike in the 19th century and was repaired in 1961. The minaret is on a cut stone base, with a round body made of cut stone and a single balcony. The tomb of Behram Agha, the Janissary Kethüda who built the mosque, is next to Imam-i Shafi in Egypt.
