Located in the city center, Büyük (Yeni) Camii was built in 1912 with a rectangular plan. Its outer walls, 1,10 meters thick, were built of rubble stone, with the corners made of cut stone. On the lower floors, the tops of the 5 windows on the east-west façade, 1,40 meters wide and 3,42 meters high, were made with round arches and surrounded by cut-stone frames. One secondary door with a round-arched stone frame, providing access to the mosque, was placed on the east and west sides. The main entrance is on the north façade. A rosette is carved into each of the two upper corners of the door. The date 1328 Hicri (1910 Miladi) is written on the upper arch of the door. The roof of the mosque is wooden and pyramid-shaped. It is covered with Spanish tiles. At the north-west corner of the mosque, there is a minaret with a single balcony.
In the interior structure of the mosque, a large central dome on 4 piers is supported on four sides by rectangular vaulted domes. Its mihrab was made of plaster, and its minbar was made of walnut wood in interlocking panels. In place of the mosque, which was destroyed in the 1999 earthquake, a new one measuring 36,20x22,60 meters, with four domes and two minarets, was built and opened for worship. The rebuilt mosque has largely lost its original structure. The mosque, which has a rectangular-plan architectural style, is 2470 square meters.
