Its story

The Cedid Ali Paşa or Semiz Ali Paşa Mosque was commissioned from Mimar Sinan in the 16th century by Grand Vizier Semiz Ali Paşa. According to records, the mosque was part of a complex together with a madrasa, a caravanserai and an arasta; of these only the mosque has survived. The revenues of the Ali Paşa Bazaar in Edirne were endowed to this mosque. When Babaeski was occupied during the Balkan Wars, the mosque was also damaged and was later repaired.
