Book of Travels, was named after its originally wooden minaret. The minaret, damaged by the earthquake in 1590 and the fire in 1602, was totally burnt down in the devastating fire of 1730. The minaret built in its stead was built of stone to match the strong stone structure of the mosque. The minaret and the mosque, characterized by the stria entwining the former, have thereafter been called Burmalı Minaret and Burmalı Minare Mosque respectively. The mosque has a rather regular ectangular plan disregarding the minaret and the tomb. The inside is illuminated by four windows on both east and west walls and three more windows on the south wall. All the walls are thick and strong and built of hewn stones. The entrance to the mosque is between the minaret and the tomb, through an arched doorway placed in a large protruding niche. The inner space is divided into three landings by three pillars on both sides of the axis of the shrine. By adjoining each pillar with lancet arches,
all the landings are divided into three, creating a total of nine compartments. The three compartments in the middle row have a dome over them. The two platforms by the kiblah wall are covered with cross vaults, whereas the others are covered with barrel vaults. To the left of the entrance is the octagonal Cumudar Tomb which is built on a square platform. The tomb housed the mummy of Shahzadah Cumudar, who ministered Anatolia from Amasya during the reign of İlhanlılar. The
mummy was later moved to Amasya Museum, and the tomb which was named after him actually belongs to Ferruh Bey and his son.
