Information about the monument: It is also publicly referred to by the following names: Bezirganbaşı Mosque, Ramazan Efendi Mosque, or Koca Hüsrev Mosque. The most fascinating feature of this modestly sized mosque is its 16th century tiles covering almost the entire interior. The building was restored in the 19th century with the support of Hamamizade İsmail Dede Efendi, a well-known composer. Only the small minaret, with its beautiful proportions, reflects the original composition of the exterior façade which has been restored several times.
