Zagan Pasha Mosque () is a historic mosque in Balñkesir, northwest Turkey. It is known as the place, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk delivered his famous "Balñkesir Khutbah" in 1923.
The mosque was built in 1461 by Zagan Pasha (fl. 1446âÂÂ1462 or 1469), an Ottoman military commander and Grand Vizier of Albanian origin; he was the son of the right hand of George Castriot Skanderbeg - Vrana Konti. Located in the city center, at Mustafa Fakñh neighborhood, it is part of a complex consisting of a tomb and a hammam. The mosque and the tomb, broke down in 1897, were rebuilt in 1908 by the Mutasarrñf (Governor) ÃÂmer Ali Bey.
It is the biggest mosque in Balñkesir. The square-plan mosque is constructed in ashlar masonry. It has one main dome surrounded by four side domes, which are separated by vaults. Entrance to the mosque is through double-winged wooden doors in the north, west and east. On three sides of the mosque, in front of the doors, there is a porch with an inclined lead-coated timber roof supported by two square marble columns. The mosque has no narthex. The minaret is situated on the northwest corner of the building. It was donated by Hacñ Hafñz Efendi of ArabacñoÃÂullarñ, a notable family in Balñkesir. In the courtyard, two shadirvans and a tomb are situated. Outside of the courtyard's northwest corner, there is a third shadirvan of pentagon plan. A sundial is attached on a table sitting on a short thick column at the south of the courtyard.
During his visit to Balñkesir on February 7, 1923, shortly after the end of the Turkish War of Independence (May 19, 1919 â October 11, 1922), Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, then known as Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha, delivered a khutbah (an Islamic sermon), which became famous as the "Balñkesir Khutbah", in the mosque.
