Cezeri Kasım Pasha Mosque

Cezeri Kasım Pasha Mosque is located on Zalpaşa Street in Eyüpsultan. It was commissioned by Cezeri-zade Nişancı Kasım Pasha in 1515. Kasım Pasha also has a mosque in Istanbul, Cağaloğlu, and one in Thessaloniki, as well as a imaret in Thessaloniki, and a madrasa and bathhouse in Bursa. The sanctuary was built of cut stone with brick bands. It has a single and blind dome. In front of it there is a three‑dome portico. It has a single minaret and a fountain. One of the few kibe‑depicted ceramic panels in Istanbul was also located on the qibla side of the mosque, to the right of the mihrab. In 2003 it was stolen and smuggled abroad; in 2006, while its sale was being auctioned in England, necessary actions were taken and it was returned to the country. It is exhibited in the General Directorate of Foundations Museum. A replica was made and hung in the place vacated in the mosque. In addition, a small tomb is located on the qibla side of the mosque. As of 2023 it has been included in a restoration program.
