Built as a church in the 6th century under Justinian, the building was converted into a mosque in the second half of the 15th century. Nearly square in plan with three apses and a dome resting on a sixteen-sided drum, it retains clear traces of Byzantine architecture. It was restored by the General Directorate of Foundations in 2007.
