Located in the centre of the market quarter is a small but pretty mosque - the Rustam Pasya Mosque. Its interior is almost completely decorated with lovely Iznik blue tiles which made up for its very humble-looking exterior. This mosque is also not on the usual tourist itinerary and has to be visited on your own time, if time permitting.
The mosque is still being used for prayers and visitors to the mosque were offered 'free' copies of the Koran which is translated into English.
