2 reviews of Efendi Mosque

One of the best examples of classical Ottoman style

Mehmed Efendi Mosque and Yeni Mosque was built in 1558 by Mehmed Efendi, the judge of Bitola. He was also the owner of every Pekmez market store, 11 warehouses, 18 weaving workshops, seven gun powder businesses, a bakery ... The profits from these financed the mosque, but also other buildings such as an elementary school, the madrasah, secondary Koranic school, the place for camel caravans, some other sources .. It is one of the best examples of classical Ottoman style. Its square shaped building is 13 m square, with a dome of 19 meters high. There is a porch, which was probably added and closed in the 19th century, with the arrival of the Third Ottoman Army.
