Editor's Note
It is dated to the 14th-15th centuries. The structure consists of a square-plan mosque and a madrasa adjoining its north wall. A portal in the northern part of the building's west façade leads into the madrasa courtyard, and from there a second door opens into the mosque. The mosque has a dome in front of the mihrab and two aisles. The northern aisles are covered with transverse barrel vaults. The sections on either side of the dome are treated as spaces with longitudinal barrel vaults. A five-sided mihrab niche stands in the middle of the qibla wall. Finely cut stone was used in the building.
