Fatih Mosque and Complex

Still in the central district of Fatih but a little further away from the main tourist areas, this is one of the large mosques of the city. The compound is very large, and the mosque itself is a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. It was first built shortly after the conquest and Mehmed II is buried nearby, but it was damaged in a fire and rebuilt later in a more modern style. It is definitely worth visiting if you are nearby.

A very nice mosque that was built in the 17th, verny nice architecture and sublim view from the outside. It contains 2 gardens and a large courtyrad with a minimum in the middle

Nice and clean mosque. Mesmerizing recitation by the imam. It’s huge both outside and inside. One thing was odd. I saw 2 dogs laying just in front of the entrance of the mosque

This mosque was the largest example of Islamic Turkish architecture and was considered an important stage in the development of classical Turkish architecture. Fatih Mosque includes a series of well-designed buildings that were built around the mosque. They include a seminary, a library, a hospital, an inn, a bazaar, a Turkish bath, and numerous tombs that were later added. Today, nothing is left of the main mosque in the center of the complex, and the Fatih Mosque you see today was built in the 18th century. The original mosque was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1509, which was rebuilt, but was damaged again by an earthquake in 1557 and 1754, and although its main dome collapsed and its walls were irreparably damaged, it was rebuilt. Was rebuilt. By the order of Sultan Mustafa III in 1767, a new and completely different mosque was built in this place by the architect Mehmet Tahir.
