It is located slightly below the Selimiye mosque, and is at first sight a very strange building (first resembling something farming). This monument deserves to admire its impressive entrance, made of marble and beautiful fountains. The construction of the mosque, located on the square Huriet, started in 1403, by order of the Emir Suleyman Celebi and was completed in 1414 during the reign of his son - Sultan Mehmed Celebi (Celebi - translated as "bidder").

Eski Cami was built in the traditional style of architecture ranneosmanskogo by architect Hadji Aladdin from Konya of hewn limestone, sometimes supplemented by alternating layers of stone and brick, typical of ancient architecture.

Opposite the mosque is 14-domed indoor market (Bedesten) was built from the treated red and white stone in the years 1417-1418 by the same architect.

The mosque has two adjoining minaret. It is a square building with four pillars and was built on the image and likeness of the Byzantine church. Behind the mosque there are two tombstones of the pedestal: a small one - near the grave of his wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II (1481-1512), who dethrone the youngest son of Selim I the Terrible (1512-1520 gg.), Famous for his cruelty in the Ottoman Empire. Another monument as a shrine revered by the people, and to this day is dedicated to Mehmed Bey.

The interior of the mosque combines vegetable vignette of inscriptions and Arab, a masterful blend of red and white arches that seem to be applied over the entire brush with mascara. Columns are clearly its ancient Roman origins. Most likely, this place once upon a time there was a certain antique building, partially destroyed afterwards. Some of the surviving elements of the building are an integral part of Eski Jami.

On the front wall of the mosque suffered "ottoman Swan" - a symbol of faith, next to which there is an inscription: "No God but Allah, and Mohammed - his prophet! ".
