Amasya
Amasya Bayezid Pasa Dervish Tekke and Mosque
1414
Architect: Ebu Bekir bin Mehmed Museymes of Aleppo



Bayezid Pasa was build during the mayoralty of Bayezid Pasa in Amasya in 1414, prior to his appointment as grand vizier by Mehmed I. The pasha acquired a large number of windmills, agricultural land, gardens, stores and public baths in the area to provide income for the religious endowment or waqf (vakif) responsible for the operation and maintenance of the mosque.






The inside layout is unique, the domed central hall gives access to six rooms: four large rooms to the east and west and two narrow cells flanking the entrance. The large rooms, once used by dervishes, are equipped with plaster furnaces and shelving. They are domed, with two small lanterns atop the two northern domes.
