The story of Uşak Grand Mosque

The inscription above the door of Uşak Grand Mosque does not actually belong to the mosque. Dated 1419, it records a fountain built, and its water brought, under the Germiyanid ruler Yakup, son of Süleyman Şah; the text came from a fountain in the northern courtyard and was placed here later. The mosque's construction year is unknown, but its architecture points to the Germiyanid era.

In the 19th century it was decorated in the Ottoman Imperial style and given a narthex with three gates and five domes resting on thick stone columns. Inside, the prayer hall measures 18.50 m × 22 m, crowned by a main dome 10 m across and flanked by three smaller domes on each side. Look closely at the minbar: parts of the original were fixed to the new one.

Evliya Çelebi described it as a crowded mosque in the middle of the market, its dome covered with wood.
