Kara Mustafa Paşa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Merzifon, Turkey
The Kara Mustafa Paşa Mosque features one main dome, a minaret, and four secondary domes positioned at each corner of the structure.
Built in 1666 during Sultan Mehmed IV's reign, the mosque was commissioned by Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Paşa as part of Ottoman expansion initiatives.
The mosque's courtyard contains a fountain decorated with landscape paintings by Zileli Emin, representing Late Ottoman painting techniques and artistic traditions.
