    The Gazi Mihal Bey Mosque in Edirne is a historic building dating back to the early Ottoman Empire. Built in 1422 by order of Gazi Mihal, the mosque is located on the bank of the Tunca River, near the Gazi Mihal Bridge.

    Key Features and History:

    Year of Construction and Founder: According to the inscription, the mosque was built in 1422 by Emîrü'l-kebîr Mihal b. Azîz, better known as Gazi Mihal Bey.

    Architecture: The mosque is an example of early Ottoman architecture. It is a "tabhaneli mosque," meaning that in addition to the prayer hall, it also had rooms (tabhane) on the sides that were once used as accommodations for travelers and dervishes.

      The mosque has suffered many setbacks over the centuries, including an earthquake in 1752 that damaged the minaret (later rebuilt in the Baroque style) and severe flooding from the Tunca River in 1953. As a result, the mosque was closed to worship for 45 years, until restoration in 1998 reopened it.

      ​Location: The mosque is located in the Yıldırım Beyazıt neighborhood, at the end of Talat Paşa Street in Edirne.

      ​Associated buildings: The mosque was formerly part of a larger complex (külliye) that included a soup kitchen and a Turkish bath (hamam). The Gazi Mihal Bridge and the family cemetery of the Mihaloğulları dynasty are also located in the immediate vicinity.
