Çakeri Camii is a mosque with five inscriptions in Türkmeydanı Mahallesi. “Cakeri” means slave. The water coming from Halil ür-Rahman Gölü reaches here underground. In the past, this water flowed as far as the gardens located at the edge of the city. The water that came also passed under the mihrab of Çakeri Camii. However, due to the development of building construction today, it is not possible to see this view. The inscription at the right corner of the last congregation place states that the repair of the mosque was carried out with the help of Hacı Ali, son of Muhammed. The date given here is 1524. (Hijri 930)
The inscription on the courtyard gate of the mosque states that Seyyid Şeyh Muhammed, a descendant of the Islamic Prophet Hz.Muhamed, had this mosque repaired. It is then stated that during the reign of Sultan 4.Murad Han (1623-1640), it was renewed in 1635 (Hijri 1044) by Ayaşoğlu Hacı Hüseyin. The inscription also mentions a builder named Hacı İbrahim, son of Mehdi. The inscription above the inner door of Çakeri Camii offers a prayer for Ayaş oğlu Hacı Hüseyin and gives the same date. There is a damaged inscription on the column located in the mosque’s ablution area. Although it mentions that the ablution area was built here, the date and the person’s name could not be read.
