Located around Üzüm Pazarı and among the oldest mosques of Isparta, Firdevs Bey Camii was commissioned in 1561 by Isparta Governor Firdevs Paşa during the reign of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman, in the style of Mimar Sinan. The mosque, which has a square plan and a single dome, has a five-domed last congregation area to the north and a minaret at the northwest corner.

Although there is no construction inscription, it has a waqf deed dated 1565. Since the name of the mosque is mentioned in works written about Mimar Sinan such as Tezkiret-ül Bünyan, Tezkerat-ül Ebniye, and Tuhfet-ül Mimarin, it is thought to be among the works of Mimar Sinan.

The structure, built of finely cut stone, has two window openings on the lower and upper levels of the west and east facades, and two on the lower level and three on the upper level of the south facade. The lower windows are rectangular in character with flat lintels and stone jambs, and have pointed-arch pediments. The upper windows are again in the form of pointed-arch openings.

On the north facade of the mosque, there is a five-bay last congregation area, covered in the middle with a cross vault and on the two sides with domes having octagonal drums reached by pendentives. The covering system is supported on the facades by pointed arches resting on six columns. Of the column capitals, the two on the sides display Turkish triangles, while the other four have muqarnas decoration. The arch openings are today covered with glass enclosures. On the north facade of the mosque opening to the last congregation area are the entrance door to the harim and windows. The mihrabiye seen between the window on the west side of the entrance opening and the minaret entrance at the western end has a muqarnas semi-dome. The harim is covered with a dome reached by pendentives and is illuminated by fifteen windows on the facades and eight at the base of the dome. In order to meet the expenses of the mosque, a bedesten was also commissioned in 1561 by Firdevs Paşa.
