The prayer hall of this Eski Cami (without the porch) is about 49 x 49 m large (mesured inside; outside dimensions: 49½ m square), and has three entries: a main entrance in the north, and two other east and west. The nine domes have a diameter of 13½ m each.
The mosque was damaged by a fire in 1748, and by an earthquake four years later. Sultan Mahmut I had it restored in 1754; on that occasion the present northern porch was built.
