Destination

Fatih Paşa (Kurşunlu) Camii

It is a mosque built in Diyarbakır by Bıyıklı Mehmet Paşa, the city’s first Ottoman Governor, between 1516-1520. It is the city’s first Ottoman Mosque and is considered the largest and most elaborate of the structures in Diyarbakır. Because the people of Diyarbakır gave Bıyıklı Mehmet Paşa, who had conquered Diyarbakır on behalf of the Ottomans, the title “Fatih Paşa,” it is also called Fatih Paşa Camii; and because its dome and roof were completely covered with a layer of lead, it is also known as “Kurşunlu Cami”.
