In the structure, whose prayer hall has a square plan, a central dome resting on squinches at the corners stands out. The interior of the mosque, which was built of finely cut stone, is illuminated by six windows on the lower level and four on the upper level. Gürcü Kapı Ali Ağa Mosque, whose minaret was built of red kamber stones and rubble stone, was restored in 2006.
