Çilehane Mosque

Yakup Paşa, one of the ameers of Çelebi Mehmet had this mosque built in 1413. The main building consists of dervish lodges, the masjid and the suffering rooms. To the west of the western entrance is the edifice that is assumed to be a tomb.
The bearer walls are masoned using broken stones and red mortar. This masonry is supported by two
lines of brick aligned horizontally. The entrance to the mosque is through a large, vaulted platform built of hewn stone. The door is arched and the arched windows illuminating the interior are framed with marble.
Once inside through the western entrance, the masjid and the suffering rooms are on the right and the tomb, along with the dervish lodges, is on the left hand side.
The mosque and the lodges are domed structures.
The suffering rooms which were heavily damaged by the earthquake in 1939 were restored by the General Directorate of Charitable Foundations in 1964.
