Its story
The complex was commissioned in the first quarter of the 16th century by Çoban Mustafa Paşa, a statesman under Selim I and Süleyman the Magnificent. The group of buildings, consisting of a mosque, a madrasa, a hospital (darüşşifa), a caravanserai, a hammam, a soup kitchen (imaret) and the paşa's tomb, was an important staging post on the Istanbul–Baghdad road. The colored marble cladding inside the mosque and the decoration around the mihrab are counted among the richest examples of their time. Some of its buildings are believed to have been completed by Mimar Sinan. It is in the historic center of Gebze.
