The history

The mosque is on the edge of Konak Ikiçeşmelik Street and there are many recent repair inscriptions on it, but we know that this mosque existed as the name of Kurt Mehmet Yeniçeri or Kurt Beşe in 1734. The date h.1311 (1893) is written on the entrance door of the mosque. According to some sources, it is written that this mosque was built in the same year based on this date. However, Prof. Dr. Münir Aktepe cannot give a definite date for this mosque and claims that its builder is Mehmet Pasha
