It has a rectangular plan with a four-bay roof covered with tiles. Its roof is raised on eleven wooden pillars and covered with a triangular roof. A capital decorated with arched shapes is made on the wooden pillars. In the courtyard of the mosque are the old cemeteries of the city's Muslim priests.
