The türbe (tomb) of Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha is located just across the street.

The gilded Arabic foundation inscription above the arched gateway of the mosque records the completion date as November/December 1555.

The Turkish inscription carved around the white marble fountain basin in the courtyard records the date as 1555–56.

This has a shed roof supported on short columns and lacks a classroom.

The 12.6 metres (41 ft) dome is supported on six arches with two free-standing hexagonal piers.
