Friends have written the history. 5-10 min walk from the square.Not a bit of slope but you certainly won't regret it. There is also a breeze from the old Amasya houses as you walk. There is a pirler park just above the glass. The view of Amasya.

In 1413, Yakup Pasha built the orders of Çelebi Mehmet. Today, the structure used as a mosque is mainly a Halveti Tekke. It consists of lodge, masjid and ordeal cells. The body walls of the building are built of rubble stones filled with red mortar between them. This stone masonry is supported by two rows of brickwork lines laid horizontally. The mosque is entered through a door with a large iwan made of cut stone. The door is arched with spring. The windows that illuminate the interior have marble frames and brick arches. When the interior is entered through the west gate, the mosque and small passages on the right are the halvet (ordeal) rooms; on the left are the shrine and the lodge. A large dome covers the mosque and the lodge. Çilehane, which suffered greatly from the 1939 earthquake, was repaired in 1964 by the General Directorate of Foundations.
