English: It was (first) named İplikçi Mosque because it was located where earlier the İplik Pazarı was situated. Building was started in 1562 by Abdi Ağa, a wealthy person from Isparta and was completed in 1569. Its roof was covered with wood; but not lead coated. The worn roof cover was repaired in its old form in 1725. In 1782, Halil Hamid Pasha, who was then Grand Vizier, added wings to the east and west sides of the mosque, and had it expanded by having a minaret and a library built on the east side. Because of Halil Hamid Pasha who made additions, the mosque was also called Halil Hamid Pasha Mosque. It was severely damaged by the 1914 earthquake and was rebuilt as a two-storey mosque in 1951.
The Íplik Camii (also named: Hacı Abdi Camii) was built in 1562-1569 by Cimri Hacı Abdi Ağa, a rich citizen of the town, next to the Íplik Pazarı (Yarn market). It had to be repaired in 1781, was severely damaged by the 1914 earthquake and was rebuilt as a two-storey mosque in 1951.
