The Mosque is surrounded by a Mohammedan cemetery containing tombs that are 300 years old. All of that in the heart of the city, Mangalia.

The Mosque was built in the year of 1575 by the daughter of Sultan Selim II (1566-1574), who was the wife of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, his father's vizier ("Vizir" in Romanian...it was like a minister in the Ottoman Empire )
