It is also stated in the sources that the mosque was destroyed by Timur in 1402. The mosque had taken the name “Hisar”, because it is located in front of the lower gate of the citadel (citadel means “hisar” in turkish). According to an inscription on the garden gate, the mosque was restored in 1298 (1881) with hijri calendar.

This mosque, one of the largest and most magnificent buildings in Izmir, was damaged during the 1813, 1868 and 1881 earthquakes and was repaired many times. In 1813, a last congregation place was added to the mosque.

The mosque, which is made of cut stone and rubble stone, has a square plan and is covered with a central dome resting on eight elephant legs and six domes supporting it. The entrance to the place of worship from the last congregation point in the west direction is through three doors. The last congregation area is covered with seven domes carried by eight marble columns connected by round arches. In recent times, the front of the last congregation place was closed with glass showcase.

The wooden pulpit in the mosque has a mother-of-pearl inlaid decoration. The mihrab has the form of a round niche. The interior of the mosque is decorated with hand-drawn works with the style of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The minaret has a round body built on a cut stone base and has a single balcony. The minaret was renovated in 1927.
