Kasım Paşa Mosque and Caravanserai (Bozüyük)
Bozüyük, Bilecik
A complex of a mosque, madrasa and caravanserai in central Bozüyük, commissioned by Kasım Paşa in the 16th century.
Its story
Bozüyük was an important stopover on the Istanbul–Konya road. In the 16th century the vizier Kasım Paşa commissioned a complex here made up of a mosque, a madrasa and a caravanserai; the mosque is listed among the buildings attributed to Mimar Sinan. Next to the single-domed mosque stand the remains of the caravanserai and the madrasa building. The complex played a decisive role in the town's development, and a bazaar grew up around it. It is a short but meaningful stop for travelers passing through Bozüyük.
