Its story
Located in the center of Refahiye, the mosque is among the district's prominent historic buildings, with decoration bearing traces of the Westernization period in Ottoman architecture. As Refahiye was heavily affected by the 1939 and 1992 Erzincan earthquakes, the historic buildings still standing are of special importance. The mosque was restored in 2013 and is kept open for worship. In its graveyard next to it there is said to be a martyrs' cemetery from the war period and a monument built in the name of Bahattin Paşa. As the district is on the Erzincan–Sivas highway (E-80), it is a good stop for a short break while traveling.
