It is an architectural monument of the city, the main Muslim edifice. It was built by the Romanian state in 1910. It was designed by the great Romanian inventor, engineer Gogu Constantinescu, and carried out by architect Victor Ştefănescu. The building mingles the Egyptian and Byzantine styles harmoniously with some Romanian architectural motifs, which is an architectural design that is not be found anywhere else in other religious buildings in Dobrudja. The interior hosts the huge carpet brought from Ada-Kaleh Island in 1965, a donation from Sultan Abdul Hamid (1876 - 1909), a work of the famous Hereke handicraft centre of Turkey.
