This mosque, in the Ulus quarter next to the [[Monumentum Ancyranum|Temple of Augustus]], was built in the early 15th century in Seljuk style by an unknown architect. It was subsequently restored by architect [[Mimar Sinan]] in the 16th century, with [[Kütahya]] tiles being added in the 18th century. The mosque was built in honor of [[Hacı Bayram-ı Veli]], whose tomb is next to the mosque, two years before his death (1427–28).<ref>{{cite web|author=SonTech Yazılım |url=http://www.HaciBayramiVeli.com |title=Hacı Bayram-ı Veli :. hacıbayramveli, hacı bayramveli, haci bayrami veli, hacıbayram, nasihatleri, hacı bayram cami, hayatı, hacıbayram-ı veli |publisher=Hacibayramiveli.com |access-date=5 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090525033235/http://www.hacibayramiveli.com/ |archive-date=25 May 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref> The usable space inside this mosque is {{convert|437|m2|sp=us|sqft|0|abbr=on}} on the first floor and {{convert|sp=us|263|m2|sqft|0|abbr=on}} on the second floor.
