Zagan Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Balikesir, Turkey
The Zagan Pasha Mosque features a central dome accompanied by four smaller domes, built with dimension stone and marble columns supporting lead-coated timber roofs.
Constructed in 1461 by Ottoman military commander Zagan Pasha, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1908 following damage sustained during the 1897 Admiralty period.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk delivered his influential Balikesir Khutbah at this mosque in 1923, marking a significant moment in Turkish Republican history.
Three entrance doors on the north, west, and east sides provide access to the prayer hall, while two shadirvans in the courtyard offer ritual washing facilities.
The mosque incorporates a functional sundial mounted on a thick column in the southern section of the courtyard to assist with prayer time calculations.
