Its story
Yunus Paşa Mosque was commissioned in Taraklı in the early 16th century by Yunus Paşa, grand vizier under Selim I. Because its dome is covered with lead (kurşun), it is also popularly known as the Kurşunlu Mosque. The mosque formed the center of a complex founded when the town gained importance as a staging post; a han, a hammam and a bazaar developed around it. With its cut-stone workmanship and simple interior, it reflects early classical Ottoman architecture. It stands at the heart of a walk among Taraklı's historic houses.
