Semsi Ahmet Pasa Külliyesi
1580-81
Architect Mimar Sinan
Although this mosque is small in size, it is remarkable because of its mass and composition, and the way it is situated right on the sea shore. With the tomb of Semsi Ahmet Pasha adjacent to the mosque, and the L-shaped medrese surrounding the courtyard on an independent axis, Sinan has designed a very original, assymetric kulliye, perfectly adapted to the coast line.
