Cenabi Ahmet Pasha Mosque is a refined Ottoman mosque from the sixteenth century, attributed to the great architect Mimar Sinan. It does not compete with Ankara's national monuments for scale, but it offers a more intimate look at the city's Ottoman layer.
The mosque is best visited as part of a walk through old Ankara rather than as a stand-alone excursion. Its value is in proportion, stonework, and the calm of a working religious building in a capital often dominated by republican architecture.
