Old Mosque, Safranbolu
The Gazi Suleyman Pasha Mosque is a mosque in the Safranbolu district of Karabuk Province. It is believed to have been built by Gazi Suleyman Pasha of the Candaro sons.
The exact date of construction of the mosque is not known, but it is known that the Gazi Suleyman Pasha Medras near the mosque was built in 1322.
Although the church was built as a church in the Byzantine period, it is thought that it began to be used as a mosque after the conquest of Safranbolu by the Turks, there is no clear consensus on this.
The mosque is square in shape, with a stone mound and a prayer section of 17.5m x 17.5m.
