Hisar Camisi was commissioned by Yakup Bey in 1592. It is the largest and most magnificent mosque in İzmir. It consists of a prayer hall covered with a central dome and small domes arranged around it, and a domed last congregation area.

With its renovated minaret, the mosque bears the typical features of classical period Ottoman mosques. The painted decorations inside the mosque, the panels displaying the subtleties of calligraphy, and the craftsmanship of the mihrab and minbar are among the finest examples of Turkish artistic taste. The mosque underwent restoration in 1813, 1881, 1927 and the 1980s.
