Rahmaniye Cami: It belongs to the group of rectangular plan, flat-roofed mosques. It was commissioned by Abdurrahman Paşa in 1747. The mosque, which has largely preserved its original character, consists externally of the harim measuring 9.25 x 12.20 meters, a three-bay last congregation area measuring 3.70 x 10.55 meters placed on the north side, and a single-balcony minaret at the northeast corner. Finely cut yellowish trachyte stone was used in the walls and minaret, basalt in the columns of the last congregation area and in the arches and jambs of the main entrance, plaster in the mihrab, and wood and tile in the covering system.
Large windows with a single row of depressed arches were opened in the mosque walls, relieving the massiveness of the facades. The structure is plain. The columns of the last congregation area have double-volute capitals reflecting the characteristics of the Ionic order. The facade walls are encircled with a cornice starting from the upper part of the windows. The decoration that draws attention in the interior is seen in the mihrab. The mihrab has a muqarnas niche. In its crown section there are triangular pediments, decorated with scrolling branches, tulips and various flowers. The mihrab is surrounded on three sides by a total of seven thin moldings. Baroque decorations, characteristic of the period, are seen in the ornamentation of the structure.
