Built with cut Gödene stone, the mosque is one of the finest examples of late Ottoman architecture. The previous mosque, built between 1671 and 1676 by Sheikh Ahmed, burned down, and the present mosque was rebuilt in 1867 in the name of Pertevniyal Valide Sultan, the mother of Sultan Abdülaziz. Built in the Turkish Baroque style, with windows larger than its doors, the mosque features a three domed portico supported by six marble columns, and two minarets at either end, each with a fountain at its base and covered by a spacious dome.
