Balaban Mosque

Timber supports and a brick minaret.

Balaban Mosque is attributed to Balaban Paşa, associated with the conquest of Sofia. The fountain in front is also traditionally linked to him.

Four timber posts and a wooden roof define the interior, while brickwork gives the minaret particular interest. The building adds another scale to Sivrihisar’s timber-supported religious architecture.

Its neighbourhood setting is part of its character. Rather than adding an unverified construction year, the account focuses on its documented patron and architectural features.
