Handan Bey Camii

It is also called Handaniye Camii. In records from 1647, the name of the mosque appears as Handan Bey. It was commissioned by Handan Ağa, considered the poorest of the Erzincan beys who lived in Antep. The mosque, which also had a saddlery that generated income, was rebuilt in 1791. After that, the income obtained from the saddlery began to be used for the mosque’s repairs. During the defense of Antep, the mosque had become unusable for worship.
