Kurşunlu Mosque and Complex, Ottoman mosque complex in Odunpazarı, Turkey.

The Kurşunlu Mosque features a central stone dome covered in lead, supported by marble columns and decorated with hand-carved ornamental designs throughout its interior.

Construction of the Kurşunlu Mosque complex took place between 1517 and 1525 under the direction of Ottoman vizier Çoban Mustafa Pasha during a period of architectural innovation.

The complex includes a market dedicated to traditional Turkish crafts, where artisans create and sell meerschaum items, calligraphy works, and paper marbling pieces.

The complex contains two caravanserais, a fountain, a spiritual lodge, and a soup kitchen, which served travelers and local community members throughout its history.

The adjacent Eskişehir Meerschaum Museum displays a collection of handmade tobacco pipes and offers free entry to visitors interested in this regional craft.
