This very simple-looking mosque, located on Koyunbaba Street, Ahi Neighborhood in Samanpazarı district, was built on a sloping rock. The lower part of the walls is stone, the upper part is adobe, the internal structure is wood. The roof is covered with tiles today. It has been repaired with internal and external brick cladding with repairs made in recent years. Its first construction was at the end of the 14th century and it was renovated at the beginning of the 15th century. The mosque, which has a four-pitch basilical plan, has probably been completely renovated on the eastern entrance facade and has seen a pitch contraction. The renovated minaret rises adjacent to the wall in the northwest of the mosque. Its square pedestal is stone, its cylindrical body is brick and it is a single honor. The wooden flat cover system inside is carried by 12 wooden columns, which are painted on today. The columns are not spaced December regularly. Marble column capitals are Corinthian and Doric type Roman period material. Inside the mosque, there is a lower floor that extends to the first row of columns in the north, again in wood, and an upper floor enclosure that extends to the second row of columns. The simple entrance door is on the eastern facade. There is another door in the three chambers to the north, which is closed today. The wooden pulpit exhibits a beautiful workmanship. It is understood from the pulpit inscription that the mosque was renovated in 1413, its patron was Elvan ey Bin Magduddin Isa, the pulpit was made by master Mehmet Bin Beyazit from Harput.
