The original mosque was burned down in a fire in Malatya Bazaar in 1889, and was subjected to another fire in 1890 before it was repaired.[1] Reconstruction began in 1893 and was damaged by an earthquake on March 3, 1893. It took until 1913 to complete the construction.[1]
The rebuilt mosque was damaged by a 1964 earthquake and badly damaged in the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.[2][3]
