Yalınayak Mosque

This mosque, located in İzmir Tire district, was built by a person named Hasan Çavuş. Since it does not have an epigraph, the date of construction could not be determined. However, it is thought that it was built in the middle of the 16th century from the building style and its endowment. The madrasah next to the mosque has been demolished, the bath and timing room have survived. The mihrab in the place of worship is in the form of a round niche. Inside the mosque, there are pencil works belonging to the 19th century. The narthex in front of it is in five sections where six columns are connected by round arches. The narthex is decorated with hand-drawn work. The minaret to the west of the mosque has a round body and a single balcony on a stone base.
