It was built by Mimar Sinan following the construction of the Selimiye Mosque. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, it is mentioned as 1574 in a work written by Rıfat Osman.[1] Considering that the Kadı Bedrettin Mosque, built by his father, was constructed in the 1540s, it is likely that it was built towards the end of the 16th century.[2]
It was built with cut stone and brick in an alternating pattern on a square plan.[3] The minaret of the mosque was destroyed when it was hit by a cannonball during the Balkan War. During the 94 invasion, the madrasa section near the mosque was destroyed.[2]
