On the north of the mosque, there is a five-bay last congregation area opening to the courtyard with pointed arches, with the dome in the middle section and the others covered with a flat roof. The middle part of the prayer hall, which consists of three sections, has a dome, while the other two sections have cross-vaulted covering. The mihrab, placed in the middle of the qibla wall, has a muqarnas niche with a pointed arch resting on two small columns. Next to the mihrab, it has a minbar made of stone. The minaret is adjacent to the last congregation area at the southwest corner of the mosque courtyard. The single-balcony minaret, surrounded by three rows of muqarnas, ends with a cylindrical upper section and a cone.
