If you want to visit this mosque, its architecture is magnificent and its garden is wonderful, don't forget to save it. The deep sorrow felt by the public due to the involvement of Zal Mahmud Pasha, the patron of the mosque, in the murder of Prince Mustafa, who was strangled in 1553, caused the public to avoid going to this mosque for a period of time. Evliya Çelebi described this mosque as "the most luminous of the vizier mosques, set in a garden like the garden of Irem" and praised its marble pulpit. The complex consists of a mosque, a madrasah, a tomb and a fountain. It was built in 1577 by Zal Mahmud Pasha and his wife Shah Sultan. [1] According to Ismail Orman, "The foundation charter prepared by Shah Sultan, the founder of the madrasah, in 977 (1569) indicates that the complex was initially planned as a madrasah, a tomb and a fountain. The addition of the mosque to the complex program must have occurred after her marriage to Zal Mahmud Pasha in 982 (1574)." It is the work of Mimar Sinan. The mosque forms the center of the complex.
