The construction of the mosque began in 1513 by Ramazanoğlu Halil Bey and was completed by his son and successor, Piri Mehmet Paşa, in 1541.

It was damaged in the 1998 Adana–Ceyhan earthquake, and the restoration by the General Directorate of Foundations (Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü) was completed in 2004.

The western entrance is older than the main building and differs in style from the part constructed by Ramazanoğlu Halil Bey.

The northern section of the courtyard is covered with a wooden roof supported on pillars and thus can serve as an extension to the prayer hall and as an outdoor area for praying in summer.

At the east end of the courtyard, the entrance at the side of the main hall is decorated with black and white marble panels.

[2] The main prayer hall occupies the width of the rectangular plan and consists of two aisles of five bays separated by columns supporting semi-pointed arches.

The madrasah has a spacious look with its simple and clear stonework and the fountain with eight columns supporting a pyramidal roof.

Because of a small masjid squeezed on its northwest corner and an unrelated building placed beside it, it does not provide a well-planned and monumental view.

The main classroom (divanhane) is covered on the courtyard's north side, with two back-to-back domes.

The west gate, built higher than the cells, has a simple architecture and leads to the courtyard through a short hallway with a cradle vault.

The most interesting part of the madrasah is the classroom, which comprises two lined-up domes with sharp arches and pendentive.

The portal niche of the madrasah is decorated with beveled molding, which makes a knot on a pillar and a keystone on both sides.

The second of the two rectangular windows on the hall's east and west walls is framed with geometrically patterned molding that forms the intersection of a thread line with a checker and six-armed stars with a flower with six leaves at the center.

A window with colored glass is placed on each of its 12 edges, and unlike the mihrab's front dome, black stone is not used.
