VELED-İ HABIB CAMİİ
VELED-I HABIB MOSQUE
This mosque was built dıring the reign of Mehmed the conqueror (1451-1481) by a personality called Hadji Suca, son of Habib. This mosque is built with a rectangular plan. At its entrance, there is a portica for latecomers. In 1801, Hodja Mehmet Emin Efendi (1718-1713) transformed it into a ''Nakshibendi Tekke'', or small dervish lodge, together with the mansion at its side, and the library he added to this mosque. During this period, it was called ''Eminiyye'' Dervish Lodge. This dervish lodge, however, is not the place where the mosque is situated, but the building at its side. Today, there is the mausoleum of Sheikh Mehmet Emin Efendi, the founder of this small dervish lodge, bonded to this structure. In 1925, when all dervish lodges and hermitages were closed down, this mosque was abandoned. It was reopened for worshipping after renovation work made in 1969. Later, in the 1990s, it was complety revised, and both the mosque and the mausoleum at its side were re erected. The most recent restoration was made in 2013.
