ILGIN LALA MUSTAFA PASHA COMPLEX

Mosque

The mosque, which is the main structure of the complex, was built with cut stone material. The mosque, which has a square plan and a single dome, has a three-unit last congregation place. The harim is covered with a dome covered with lead from the outside and crossed by pendentives. It is possible to see rich examples of pencil ornamentation on the dome skirt and body walls of the building. In addition, the openwork geometric composition ornaments on the railing and side mirrors of the wooden pulpit are remarkable. The courtyard of the mosque, where the fountain is located, is of great importance as it is the center of the complex and all other buildings are located around it.

 

Kervansaray

Avlunun doğu yönünde yer alan kervansaray, külliyenin iki büyük yapısından biridir. Bir taraftan cami, diğer taraftan arasta kısmı ile organik bağı bulunan kervansaray; dikdörtgen planlı, üzeri beşik tonozla örtülü yan yana beş birimden oluşmaktadır.

Hostel

Located on the eastern side of the courtyard, the hostel is one of the two largest buildings of the complex. The Hostel, which has organic ties with the mosque on one side and the bazaar section on the other, consists of five units side by side with a rectangular plan and covered with a barrel vault.

Arasta

Külliyenin kuzeyinde bulunan arasta kısmı, dikdörtgen bir plana sahiptir. Arasta kısmı, karşılıklı sıralanmış dükkânlardan oluşmaktadır. Karşılıklı dükkân sıralarından oluşan arastanın bir kısmı açık, bir kısmı kapalı olarak planlanmıştır. Kapalı olan arasta kısmının bedesten olarak da hizmet verdiği düşünülmektedir.

Bazaar

The bazaar section in the north of the complex has a rectangular plan. The arasta section consists of shops lined up opposite each other. Some parts of the bazaar consisting of opposing rows of shops are planned as open and some as closed. It is thought that the closed part of the bazaar also served as a bedesten.

Almshouse

The almshouse part of the complex is located to the west of the courtyard and consists of three domed units side by side. The square and single domed unit in the north is likely to be the kitchen. To the south of this area, there is a unit with a rectangular plan and covered with two domes. This unit is likely to be the woodshed and the last rectangular space to the northeast of this area is likely to be the oven.
