Lalapaşa Mosque
Lalapaşa Mosque is the first Ottoman mosque built in Erzurum and served as a model for other Ottoman mosques built there. Grand Vizier Lala Mustafa Pasha, who was the conqueror of Cyprus and the commander-in-chief of Suleiman the Magnificent, had this mosque built in 1562 when he was the Beylerbeyi of Erzurum. Designed by Mimar Sinan, the mosque was accompanied by a palace and an elementary school, but they were destroyed over time.
