The mosques is located in the southwestern corner of the city.[1] A middle-size mosque, it comprises a central, square prayer space with a two-storey colonnaded portico on its eastern, northern, and western sides; the qibla lies in the southern side, while the entrance is from the northern.[1] The central space is covered by a dome, while the porticoes are topped by keel-shaped domes.[1] The pulpit (minbar) is located on the southwestern corner of the building. It is made of marble, and is one of the finest examples surviving in Greece today.[1] The entrance features a column-supported porch topped by small domes above the spaces between the columns.[1] While the main structure's masonry features dressed or rough stones surrounded by bricks, the porch is entirely of carefully dressed limestone ashlars.[1]

Its architecture and layout of the building are typical of the late 16th century, following the school of Mimar Sinan, and analogous to buildings of the same period in Istanbul.[1] The mosque was restored in 2000, but as of 2021 is not open for worship.

The Mosque is finished in late 16th century as a product of wish of Selçuk Sultan's children, who ordered Mosque to be made in memory of their mother.
