Its story

According to its endowment deed, the complex consisted of a mosque, a madrasa, a darülhadis (hadith school), a primary school, a library, a soup kitchen (imaret) and a guesthouse. Today the single-domed mosque, the courtyard madrasa, an L-shaped corner of the soup kitchen and a double hammam added at the end of the same century to provide income for the complex are still standing. The madrasa has six rooms on the east of the courtyard and five on the west. The buildings underwent extensive repairs between 1957-1968.
