Koça Mustafa Pasha Mosque, Byzantine mosque in Fatih district, Turkey
The Koça Mustafa Pasha Mosque features brick construction with a central dome and combines elements of Byzantine and Ottoman architectural styles.
Originally built as a church dedicated to Saint Andrew of Crete in the 9th century, the structure was converted into a mosque between 1486 and 1491.
The building represents the transformation of religious spaces in Istanbul, containing both Christian architectural elements and Islamic adaptations within its walls.
The mosque stands at 35 meters elevation in the Sümbülefendi neighborhood, with multiple entry points and prayer spaces for religious services.
Hidden frescoes from the 15th century depicting the Archangel Michael and Saints Cosmas and Damian remain preserved beneath layers of restoration work.
