The mosque is located inside the monastery, just to the west of the catholicon. The structure was modified in the 11^th century. Originally it had served as the monastery refectory (from the 6^th century). It is composed of three parts, with access between the three areas by means of large arched openings. In the course of recent renovations, under the plaster there were found crosses carved into the crowns of the arches.

The minaret is located opposite the monastery bell tower.
