About Ketenci Ömer Paşa Cami

Ketenci Ömer Paşa Cami is a historic mosque on Hükümet Caddesi in Elmalı. The traveller Evliya Çelebi, who passed through Elmalı in 1671 on a journey through southern Anatolia on his way to the pilgrimage, named it Ketenci Ömer Paşa Cami, briefly described its striking interior decoration and compared its architecture to the Zal Mahmud Paşa Mosque in Eyüpsultan, İstanbul.
