Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Paşa Cami

It is the square that has become the symbol of Merzifon. It is located in the center of Merzifon. There are lots of shops and shops on the back street. There are many nice seating places to relax around. It looks good on every morning. Merzifona is a place to take photos in front of.

This mosque, which is one of the rare mosques of Merzifonumuz history that has lived in its history, is one of the rare mosques. It is one of the important artifacts exhibiting the past history of our Merzifonum until today.

The mosque built by the name of the important grand vizier of the Ottoman state. A place to visit without keeping the expectations high. The east market has preserved its essence.

I VISITED IN 2009. EVER TODAY, I WOULD NOT GO WITHOUT STAY. THE CITY OF HISTORY WORTH TO SEE, MERZİFON

One of the most remarkable aspects of the mosque is the fountain in the courtyard. The fountain, thought to have been built in the 19th century, is basically wooden. The main feature of the fountain is ornaments on the ceiling. It is understood from the date and name that Zileli Emin made these decorations in 1875 and fell among the decorations. It is believed that three places were depicted in the decorations. The first is Istanbul. When the painting is examined carefully, between Galata and Bayezid Towers, Haliç and Galata Bridge, Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia and Süleymaniye Mosques and Çemberlitaş can be selected. The second stage is likened to Amasya. The castle, the water mills in the river and the structures similar to the Bayezit Mosque can be seen. The third scene is thought to depict the Ottoman army in front of the city of Vienna. According to the understanding of time, there are tents next to exploding guns and guns on the scene where people are not pictured. The entrance of the mosque courtyard on the Taşhan side is also worth seeing. The arch of the deep arched entrance with a small chamber is built of colored stones. There are two old plane trees in the courtyard with a diameter of approximately 3 meters.

It is a square that smells of history .. There are covered bazaars, inns and a few other mosques around it. There are beautiful fresco miniatures in the courtyard inside the fountain dome. You should also see the great plane trees right next to it.

It was a magnificent mosque. They died in 1987 with restoration. They destroyed the magnificent stone pulpit. They demolished Selahattin Müfti among his fatwas and shouts: "There will be a stone pulpit in Seljuks, not in the Ottoman Empire, destroy it". Instead, they put a costly fabricated wooden pulpit in the workshop of the Diyanet foundation. In this way, the holy mufti was able to go to a better place. Of course, the people of Merzifon paid the money. The Mufti Effendi from Trabzon, who knew the title of being the only mosque with pictures in the Islamic world, said, "An Armenian from Zileli made these paintings, delete them ..." There was a magnificent last congregation hall. He was a carpenter master. They destroyed it because it actually does not exist. But the mezzanine, which closes the magnificence of the dome, does not show the dome when you enter through the door, as if it actually existed, they spent a world of money without shame. Now it looks miserable, like a mosque newly built in the 2000s. The order of Karamustafa Pasha to paint the exterior with egg whites every year, even if the egg is 10 dry, was never fulfilled. While the adhesiveness of the egg white could prevent the stones from melting, it could not. Stones disappear with rapid erosion. 100 years later, the wind blows in its place. He had a magnificent leather shake. They went and gave it to the Tokat museum. As if there was no place to be displayed on Merzfon ... No human management etc in Merzifon? For God's sake, claim your history ....

We visited Merzifon a few years ago. There are historical places to visit and see. One of them. Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha Mosque. An amazing spirituality. It feels good for you while praying inside. It has wudu and toilets. I recommend you to visit it.
