the Muslim community during prayer. On the interior of the domed ceiling above it is seen that there is different Arabic scriptures written, specially in the calligraphy style of Thuluth. The windows of the mosque make use of both pointed and curved arches. Those below the domes are pointed, creating the visual effect of pushing the domes upwards. The windows in the domes have rounded arches, which creates the visual effect of the dome pushing downwards on the structure beneath. Both the entryway and the octagonal fountain (shadirvan) in the courtyard make liberal use of very detailed stone carvings and the tomb of Gülnûş features an open top and intricate metal latticework. The primary school is located above the north gate to the mosque complex. See also List of mosques Ottoman architecture Kulliyye References Further reading A scan is available from Archnet.
