This mosque is one of Gaziantep's oldest buildings. It was built at the beginning of the 13th century, but took its final shape in 1575 when it was renovated by the governor of Aleppo, Mehmet Pasha.
The rectangular mosque is divided widthways by four pillars into two parallel sections. The main areas are covered by cross-vaults, but the area in front of the mihrab (prayer niche) is domed. The minaret was replaced at the end of the 19th century. The madrasa (religious school) of the mosque was destroyed.
