Information about the monument: Alluding to the marine identity of the Grand Admiral Piyale Pasha, the minaret reminds one of a mast, rising above the deck of a ship. Despite some stolen pieces, the mihrap inside has retained its magnificence. An inscription of the Fatiha verse of the Koran is to be found on the band of tiles that circles the interior. After a recent restoration project which was completed in 2007, the mosque has been opened to public again.
