It is located on Mermerli Street, on a high terrace southeast of the Marina. The mosque and tomb, located within a courtyard accessed by a round-arched brick door in the northern wall, achieved their current state following recent renovations in 1992 and 2008. Both were constructed using rubble stone. Built in 1249, the mosque's entrance is via a door with a niche. The entrance is flanked by a rectangular window on either side, one on the west facade, three on the east facade, and two on the south facade. The square-planned building is covered with a dome. During recent renovations, the interior walls were paneled with wood up to half their height. The building remains free of any decorations. A fountain, apparently a later addition, stands in the southeast corner of the building. A partially legible inscription, dating from the mid-13th century, appears to have been used as reused material in the fountain. The two-story mausoleum, built south of the mosque, contained a sarcophagus on the lower floor, a burial chamber, while the domed upper floor served as a prayer room. The south and east facades of the nearly square structure are open, with both floors accessed through openings in the north wall. The lower floor of the western facade features a rectangular window with a second opening of a pointed arch with profiled bands. To the west of the building, a small prayer area is accessed through a pointed arch door in the north wall and south of the mihrab. In the area between the mosque and the mausoleum, three graves are located, two of which, based on inscriptions, date to the 19th century.
