On the picture: The porch, on the northern side of the mosque, is covered by five small domes. It has been restored several times, due to earthquakes. The last reconstruction dates from 1782.
The slightly elevated areas left and right of the main entrance are the ‘son cemaat yeri’ (= ‘area for those who came late’), where worshippers who reached the mosque late or at the last moment, will gather and fulfil their prayer duty.
