The aim of this study is to evaluate the current state of conservation of a recently restored, waqf origined monument from the view point of conservation value-intervention relations, and present principles for future applications. Manisa, Göktaşlı Mosque dated to 1630-31 is selected as a case study. Literature research on value and intervention concepts; literature and archive research on the case study mosque; comparative study with similar buildings; and site survey are realized. The values that have accumulated throughout the lifespan of the monument and its nearby environment, and their changes are identified, and the effect of the current development plan/project decisions and interventions on them are evaluated one by one. Göktaşlı Mosque has use, picturesqueness, spiritual, architectural, rareness, virginity, age and documentary values. The neglect of the authentic context of the monument in the development plan; inappropriate scale, articulation, form and material usage of the mass addition adjacent to the entrance of the monument; inappropriate articulation of the new courtyard wall with the chamfered corner of the mosque, insufficient visual connection of additional women’s section with the Prayer Hall; lack of decisions for the organisation of daily life objects and sampling excavation within the scope of restoration project; insufficient drainage system application; lack of meticulous workmanship at the mortar-plaster application; and inconsistency at the presentation of the patina are conservation problems. As a result, it is important to achieve consistency among project decisions and restoration applications, to prevent interventions out of the limits of the restoration project, e.g. those realised with the money collected by the kocou, to realise historical research and if necessary, scientific excavation detailed enough to understand the monument and its authentic context, to evaluate the historic information regarding the original way of access; positions of landscape elements such as fountain, cftxcp, etc. in the restoration presentations and the development plan decisions; to pay extra attention to mass addition decision to small scaled mosques that do not have a Last Comers’ Hall in their original design; to provide opportunity for full experiencing of women the spiritual atmosphere, e.g. provision of separators in the praying hall; to be careful in drainage applications; to design the positions of daily objects such as clock, wardrobes, etc. within the content of the restoration project; to be consistent in presentation of historical additions; and to minimize the workmanship failures such as thick and dark pink mortar usage.
