It had ceased to function as a mosque sometime in the late 19th century, when it suffered extensive damage from the flooding of the nearby Agioi Anargyroi stream.

The main entrance is located on the northern wall, topped by the founder's dedicatory inscription and fronted by a portico comprising five arches supported by columns of white marble with exquisitely carved capitals.

Originally, all the domes of the mosque were roofed in lead, and the interior walls plastered, while travellers report that a beautiful garden surrounded the building.

The Ottoman chronicler Evliya Çelebi noted that: All of the structures, the domes, the madrasah, the school and the soup kitchen are all covered in lead.

But the gardens surrounding this mosque have no rival; they are as if covered in green velvet, with majestic trees and every possible type of bird flies around in this greenery.
