Built between 1396 and 1399 by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, it is a prime example of early Ottoman architecture. The mosque features a large, rectangular prayer hall covered by 20 domes arranged in four rows of five, supported by 12 massive columns. Its interior is adorned with impressive calligraphy and intricate woodwork. The mosque also houses a beautiful ablution fountain (şadırvan) inside the prayer hall, which is a unique feature.
