Artvin İli’nde Ardanuç İlçesi’nin eski merkezi olan
Adakale’de yer alan cami, İskender Paşa tarafından yaptırılmıştır. Cami,
Akkoyunlular döneminde de kullanılmıştır. 1551’de Ardanuç’un fethedilmesiyle
harap halde bulunan cami, İskender Paşa tarafından yeniden yaptırıldığı için
onun adıyla anılmaktadır. Çeşitli tamiratlar geçiren cami, ibadete açıktır.
İskender Paşa Camisi’nin yanında Sefer Paşa, Hatice Hanım ve Süleyman
Paşa adlarında üç türbe bulunmaktadır. Bazı araştırmacılar bu türbelerin
isimlerini farklı vermiştir. Türbelerde mezar olduğu anlaşılsa da içlerinde
define arandığı için perişan haldedir. Bu türbelerden Süleyman Paşa Türbesi 16.
yüzyılda, Sefer Paşa Türbesi 17. yüzyılda ve Hatice Hanım Türbesi ise 18.
yüzyılda yapılmış olmalıdır. İskender Paşa Camisi’nin yer aldığı sokakta çeşme,
hamam ve dükkânlar vardır. Bazı kaynaklarda camiyi Sefer Paşa’nın yaptırdığı
belirtilmektedir. Ancak Sefer Paşa, caminin etrafındaki medrese ve hamamı
yaptırmıştır. Bu çalışmada, caminin gelirleri ve görevlileri üzerinde durulacaktır.
16. yüzyıldan başlamak üzere camiye dair bilgiler verilecektir.
The mosque,
which is situated in Adakale (the old center of Ardanuç district) in the
province of Artvin was built by Iskender Pasha. The mosque was also used in the
Akkoyunlu period. Before the conquest of Ardanuç in 1551, it was badly damaged,
but Iskender Pasha restored the mosque. Thus, his name was given to the mosque.
Nowadays, it is open for prayers.
Next to the Iskender Pasha Mosque, there are three
tombs named Sefer Pasha, Hatice Hanım and Süleyman Pasha. Some researchers reported
different named for these tombs. While the tombs are known to have graves, they
are in miserable conditions as people have looked for treasure inside. It is
estimated that the Süleyman Pasha Tomb was built in the 16th
century, the Sefer Pasha Tomb in the 17th, and the Hatice Hanım Tomb
in the 18th century. There are also some shops, a Turkish bath and a
fountain in the same street where the mosque is located. Some sources state
that the mosque was built by Sefer Pasha. However, Sefer Pasha had only a
Turkish bath and a madrasah built in the surrounding region of the mosque. In
this study, we have investigated the mosque’s income and its staff. We also provide
information about the mosque for a period starting with the 16th
century.
