Kazirzade Camii

On a website I found, translated and edited: Kadızade (another name for the mosque) Mosque is a part of the complex located in Ertuğrul District, Kaziroğlu Street. The mosque, which was built by Emir Muhittin Bey as a Zaviye in the 14th century, worked as a mevlevihane until the Republican period. It is the third largest mevlevi house of the city after Tire Mevlevihanesi and Yeşil Imaret Mevlevihane. It consists of a complex, zaviye, madrasah, fountain, and a burial ground in the garden. The mosque, which was repaired in 1860, was finally restored in 2015. It has lost its original structure and ornaments from these restorations. Madrasa rooms are located 1 meter above the garden floor of the mosque. The dome resting on an octagonal drum is covered with tiles. The interior of the mosque is 6.90 m. square and the transition to the dome is provided with pendentives. The hoop skirt is decorated with toothed moldings. The narthex, which was added later, should have four sections. The minaret in the form of Zencirek is in the east of the mosque and has a single balcony. There is a madrasah to the east of the mosque. The madrasa consists of five cells. It is one meter above the garden. On the lower floor of the madrasa rooms, there is a çilehanesi, which is entered through a narrow corridor. The Madrasah, which has two floors, was severely damaged in the great fire in 1916.
