Ayse Kadın Camii

Ayse Kadın Camii. From TrakyaGezi's site I quote (Google-translated): "Ayşe Kadın, who gave her name to the neighborhood in Edirne where the mosque is located, is the daughter of Çelebi Sultan Mehmet.

Ayşe Kadın Mosque was built in 1468 in her name. Ayşe Kadın devoted various workplaces and village lands from Hayrabolu and Skopje for this mosque.

When viewed from an architectural point of view, we see that the other three facades except the north facade are applied in the same plan. On these facades, seven window openings on three rows contribute to the space in terms of light effect. There is a minaret at the north end of the west wall. On the north facade, a narthex, surrounded by a window, differs from the general atmosphere of the building.

The ablution taps of the mosque are made in a mechanism that allows heating in winter. In the western direction of the mosque, there is the Hacı Muslim Fountain , built in 1647, which overflows from the courtyard wall of the mosque . The portal of the mosque was built close to the west end of the north facade. Concentrated decorations and pen works are found on this facade."
