Çingene Fırını Mosque

Çingene Fırını Mosque, Kara Kadı Mosque or Kara Gazi Mosque; it was a mosque in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul.

It was commissioned by Kadı Alâeddin Efendi, who died in 1591 or 1592. The minbar of the mosque was placed by Imamzâde Mustafa Efendi. In later periods, it was converted into a tekke by Feyzullah Efendi of Diyarbakır. It was demolished at some date between 1936 and 1938 and its minaret was moved to Geredeli Çelebi Mosque. After its demolition, the site was used as a scrap depot. In 1988, a reinforced‑concrete mosque named Karakadı Alâeddin Mosque was built on this site.

It was located in the Mimar Sinan neighbourhood of Üsküdar, at the intersection of Selam-ı Ali Efendi Street and Kassam Çeşme Street. It took its name from a bakery opposite the road. Among the public it was also known as Kara Kadı or the corrupted form Kara Gazi. The minaret of the wooden building was also wooden. In the cemetery adjacent to the mosque lies the grave of Kadı Alâeddin Efendi.
