There is a small Masjid on the left of the historic slap streets, just opposite the tomb of Ali Tusi, if you go a bit further above the 2 museums, the yagbasan madrasah. These streets should be visited one by one. I couldn't go inside. I was a little late. By the way, all the museums are free.

The masjid, located next to Sulu Han on Sulu Sokak in the center of Tokat, is known as Kundakcılar or Kazancılar Masjid. It was built in H.924 (M.1518) according to the circular marble inscription on the entrance door. It is a single-space building with a rectangular plan close to a square. In the south of the sanctuary, the mihrab was placed inside the iwan, which was formed by a wide pointed arch. The square planned space in front of this section is covered with a dome with squinches. The building, which is entered through a simple door on the north façade, has no openings except a window on the north façade and a rectangular window on the lower level and a crenell window on the upper level on the eastern façade. The main walls of the building were constructed of rubble stone and brick in alternating technique. Brick was used in the arches and dome, and cut stone was used in the doors and windows (Mercan-Ulu, 2003).
