Overview
This text was compiled from sourced information with AI assistance and has not yet been reviewed by an editor. Please report any errors.
İskender Pasha Mosque is a 16th-century Ottoman building in Trabzon. Its main plan recalls that of the Green Mosque in İznik. The minaret is built with alternating courses of brick and coloured stone. The stonework is regarded as of very high quality, although extensions and restorations carried out at different times have weakened the building's original character. The madrasas that once stood in the courtyard have not survived. The old cemetery to the west has also been cleared, leaving only the grave of İskender Pasha.
