Its story
The mosque was built in 1430–1431 by Yörgüç Paşa, tutor and vizier of Murad II. In this inverted-T-plan building of finely cut stone, the arches with alternating red and white marble stand out. The incorporation of the late-comers' portico into the interior sets it apart from similar buildings.
