Its story

Yıldırım Mosque, near Balıkesir's historic bazaar, dates to the late 14th century, the reign of Bayezid I (Yıldırım Bayezid). It is one of the few surviving buildings from the city's early Ottoman period. Repaired at various times because of earthquakes, the mosque, with its plain facade and dome, can be seen on a short walk together with Zağanos Paşa Mosque and the Karesi Bey Tomb.
