The inscription of this mosque, located on the Izmir Pamucak road in the Selcuk district of Izmir, at the Selcuk exit, has not survived to the present day, so its construction date has not been determined. The architectural style of the mosque, which was recently repaired, indicates that it was built in the 14th century during the Aydınoğulları period and that it was repaired in later years. The mosque has a square plan with cut stone brick beams. In front, there is a three-part narthex with two columns and two piers connected by round arches. The mosque, which is entered through a round arched door, is covered with a high drum dome. Blind niches were built on the drum. Small round arched stained glass windows were placed inside these niches. There are two windows with rectangular jambs and blind inscriptions on each side wall of the mosque. Round arched stained glass windows were placed on these. The mihrab is in the shape of a round niche, and its ornamentation appropriate to its era has not survived to the present day. The minaret of the mosque, which is adjacent to the wall of the prayer hall, has a cut stone base, a cylindrical brick body and a single balcony. The bottom of the balcony is decorated with diamond motifs.
