Descripción del sitio

This marker is part of an extended History of Islamic Architecture

Didymotikho, Greece Çelebi Mehmet Mosque - Bayezid Camii
1420 - 1421
Ottoman
Architect Ivaz Pasa


This mosque made its way into this collection not only because I know this last village on the road to Edirne - but because the village is Greek and Turkish (di= two, dymotikhon= people).
The mosque was built in 1420 by Sultan Mehmed II. In the Greek archives the mosque is named Bayezid Camii.
The mosque - without a dome - may be unfinished: Like the Green Mosque in Bursa -- another mosque built by Ivaz Pasa under Mehmet II -- was also left incomplete with the Sultan's death in 1421.
