Although it is understood from the remains that there was previously a 3-section last congregation area in front of the prayer space of the mosque with a wooden ceiling, this part was removed during the reconstruction. The mosque has small windows with pointed-arch pediments. It is covered externally with a hipped roof and has a sawtooth eave.
