Its story
According to the assessment of Prof. Dr. Hakkı Acun, the Hacı Ahmet Ağa Mosque in the Boğazlıyan district center was built before 1719. Repaired several times, the building has undergone changes in both the mosque and the minaret; the minaret, which had a single balcony when first built, has two balconies today. In the part of the minaret up to the first balcony, colored stones arranged in a checkerboard pattern stand out. The rectangular-plan mosque with a gabled roof is lit by eleven windows; its three-part, semi-cylindrical wooden ceiling is carried by four wooden columns. Nearby are the historic district hamam and the minaret of the old Çarşı Mosque.
