What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Gazi Ali Pașa Mosque is appreciated for its beautiful historical architecture and the significance of Gazi Ali Paşa's mausoleum. However, visitors should be aware of potential issues with locals soliciting money and inconsistent access to the mosque's interior.
"De building itself is beautiful but beware of the people around it. Someone came to ask for money because we "visited" the mosque (just looked from outside). When we refused to pay he just spit on our car. The only time in Romania we encountered someone like this."
Sam De Saeger
"Some turkish workers asked to buy them a juice, so they will let us visit it but nobody opened the mosque."
Mircea Mircea
"An old turkish moscue, dated around 1600 ad, located in downtown Babadag's village."
