Defterdar Mustapha Paşa Camii

Defterdar Mustapha Pasha Camii, by Sinan, dating to 1575, I found it closed.

From TrakyaGezi's site I quote (Google-translated): It is located on Talat Paşa Boulevard in Edirne, between Ayşe Kadın Mosque and Siti Sultan Mosque. The mosque is in a large courtyard. It was built by Mimar Sinan by Mustafa Pasha, one of the bookkeepers of the 2nd Sultan Selim period. The building, which was severely damaged in various periods, experienced serious repairs from time to time.

Passage is provided on four cylindrical columns with arches, and the narthex of neat cut stone is covered with 3 domes, one of which is monastic style. There are 4 windows on the north facade, i2 on the right and 2 on the left, and a portal in the middle of them. There are two outer mihrabs with niches on the right and left between the two windows. On the other three surfaces, nine windows on three rows each light the mosque naturally.

The Harim section is covered with a main dome over the square planned Defterdar Mosque. Its minaret is located adjacent to the northern end of the west facade. It can be thought that the very rich ornaments of the structure have not been seen, the reason for this is that it has lost much of its originality in the repairs it has undergone. The women are cellar and mimber wood, which was added much later.
