English: On a website I found, translated and edited: This mosque, which is located in the Tire district of Izmir province, was built by the son-in-law of Sultan Selim I, Grand Vizier Lütfü Pasha, while he was in Aydın as the Sanjak Bey in the 1500s. Since there is no inscription indicating the date of construction, an exact date cannot be suggested. It is written only in Lütfü Pasha's endowment charter dated 1543 that the mosque is a lead-domed place of worship, and in front of it is the last congregation place with five domes and five marble columns. So it was built in the middle of the century. It is learned from the foundation charter that there was a madrasah with fifteen rooms and twelve shops next to the mosque. Apart from this structure, Lütfü Pasha also had an inn, soup kitchen, fountain and fountain built in Tire. This building, which is one of the typical examples of classical Ottoman architecture, has a square plan made of cut stone. A central dome covered with stalactite squinches over the place of worship. The narthex, which is reached by a three-step staircase from the courtyard in front of the mosque, has five sections and is carried by six columns. The section in front of the door that provides the entrance to the mosque in the middle of the narthex has a lead dome, and the other sections are covered with tiles. The mihrab is in the form of a round niche. The window wings of the mosque are made of wood and in the kündekari technique. The pulpit is made of wood and covered with decorations in the technique of insertion. The minaret with a stone pedestal, a round body and a single balcony, located on the west of the mosque, can be reached from the narthex.
