Its story
Also known as the Sultan Süleyman Mosque, the building was constructed on the order of Suleiman the Magnificent by Sadık Kalfa, one of Mimar Sinan's master builders. According to its inscription, construction began in 1522 and was completed in 1558. The square-plan mosque has a large dome in the middle and a half dome on each of its four sides; its walls and minaret are of cut stone. The painted decoration and calligraphy inside were renewed in later periods. Located in the bazaar in the city center, the mosque is Çankırı's most important Ottoman building.
