Nişancı Mehmet Pasha, who participated the Sigetvar Expedition and was martyred in 1566, was buried next to the Gazi Kasım Pasha Mosque in Pecs and a tomb was built on it. The tomb has not survived. According to the Pecs plan dated 1687, it is understood that the mosque was located in the southeast. The tomb was marked as a church along with the mosque on the military map dated 1773. Like Ali Bey Tomb in Gyula, it must have been converted into a church with the mosque next to it. Today, the courthouse (Pécsi Városi Bíróság) stands on the site of the tomb.
