Its story
The Rüstem Paşa Complex was commissioned in Tekirdağ from Mimar Sinan by Damat Rüstem Paşa, grand vizier of Süleyman the Magnificent; the gate inscription bears the date 1553. The complex included a mosque, a madrasa, a library, a double hammam, a bedesten, a caravanserai and a soup kitchen. The square-plan mosque is covered by a single dome; it has a portico with a double row of columns and a minaret with a single balcony. The marble ablution fountain in the courtyard and the historic fabric around it are explored on a short walk in the city center.
