Yakupağa Külliyesi

The initial construction of the külliye began with the mosque commissioned by Halimi Çelebi, the teacher of Yavuz Sultan Selim. Later, in 1547, Yakup Ağa, Treasurer of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman, had the mosque renovated; by having a madrasa, imaret, guesthouse and sıbyan mektebi built next to it, he turned the structure into a külliye. The mosque was built of cut stone, and its domes are covered with lead. Its minaret was built at the southwest corner of the mosque.
