Muradiye Mosque, the most glamorous part of the mosque, is a striking building with ivory adornments, covered with tiles, with two minarets built with inverted T-shaped cut stone and mihrab walls with large dome. The madrasa building in the complex has a simpler plan and a room covered with a dome. The plan of imarethanen which is located beside the medresa also resembles the medresa, and today these two sections serve as a museum.
