Kurşunlu Mosque (Center):The mosque, which is constructed by Essesiyet Şucaadin in 1493, has a central plan and big dome. Two small domes aside of it, is removed by Hacı İbrahim Ağazade Hamdi Bey while it was repaired. Leads of this dome are renewed, and adornments are decorated with the paintings imported from Rhodes Island during this repair. Final congregation place is added to the mosque in 1900 by Şerif Efendi.
