Location: The mosque is located in the quarter of Asia (Asa Mahalle), in 20, Skra Str.
The Monument: It is a square, gabled-roof building. The prayer room is spacious having two sequences of two wooden hypostyles that support the roof. The minaret is probably more recent. The interesting façade is very similar to those of secular buildings of the area, suggesting that the mosque probably dates to the second half of the 19th century.
