Information about the monument: Even though it seems to have been designed as an independent structure, originally it was built within a complex that included a school building and two fountains, which no longer exist. The original features of the mosque have been largely preserved; however, its view is partially blocked by the bridge. In an unusual manner, the minaret was built separate from the main structure.
