Emir Süleyman ordered the mosque, and Haci Alaeddin and Ömer bin Ibrahim were its architects. Groundbreaking was in 1402, and it was completed in 1414 under his brother, Sultan Mehmet I. The article describes the style as Ottoman. It gives no materials, restorations or ownership.
The mosque has nine domes supported on four columns. It has no courtyard and is entered through three doors, with a portico before the domed prayer hall. Two minarets stand there, one original and a taller one that Murat II added later. The article gives no date for it.
Large calligraphy works decorate the interior, and mural calligraphy of Muhammad and Allah marks the front portico. It stands in the historical center of Edirne, near the market, the Selimiye Mosque and the Üç Şerefeli Mosque.
