Halime Hatun Religious Complex in Gölmarmara built by the Sultan Mehmed III during his tenure in Manisa (1583–1595) in the name of his wet nurse and future Grand Vizier Tekeli Lala Mehmed Pasha's mother-in-law Halime Hatun.

Born in Gölmarmara in western Anatolia, he became a lala (tutor) to the Sultan Murad III and then to his son Mehmed III, hence his nickname. After having married the daughter of Mehmed III's daye (wet nurse) Halima Khatun, Mehmed Pasha rose to serve as Grand Vizier in 1595, the first year of Mehmed III's reign, although only for a matter of few days before he suddenly died.[1][2] His lineage continued for centuries, coming all the way to Husein Avni Pasha.
