Eyüp Sultan Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Eyüpsultan, Turkey.
The pale honey-colored stone mosque features a central dome measuring 17.5 meters in diameter, supported by two half domes and adorned with crystal chandeliers.
Sultan Mehmet II commissioned the mosque in 1458 after discovering the burial site of Ebu Eyüp el-Ensari, who died during the Arab siege of Constantinople.
The mosque complex served as the ceremonial location where Ottoman princes received the Sword of Osman, marking their ascension to sultanate power.
The mosque complex opens daily for visitors, with separate prayer areas for men and women, requiring modest dress and head covering for female visitors.
The marble stone inside the mosque contains a preserved footprint attributed to Prophet Muhammad, making it a significant pilgrimage destination for Muslims.
