Its story
Havsa was a staging town on the Edirne–Istanbul road. Sokullu Mehmed Paşa commissioned a complex here from Mimar Sinan in the name of his son Kasım Paşa; the mosque was completed in the late 1570s. The mosque, the arasta with its prayer dome, the hammam and the fountain have survived; of the caravanserai only one arch remains. It is a carefully restored group of buildings in the town center, suitable for a short break.
