Editor's Note
It was completed in 1893, together with its ablution fountain, by the endowment of Perestev Rahime Sultan, the Queen Mother (Valide Sultan) of Sultan Abdulhamid II. The inscription above the marble water cistern reads in celi thuluth script: "This is the endowment of the patroness of good works and charity, Her Highness Perestev Rahime Valide Sultan, mighty in power and glorious in renown, the year 1311." Its minaret, which collapsed in the 1953 earthquake, was rebuilt. Source: "The Works of Sultan Abdulhamid II Han in Balikesir" - Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Bulbul
