Handan Agha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Hasköy, Beyoğlu, Turkey.
The Handan Agha Mosque stands near the Golden Horn with an interior decorated with Iznik tiles from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Built in the 15th century by Handan Agha, an official of Sultan Mehmed II, the mosque's basement originally functioned as a boathouse before coastal modifications.
The mosque incorporates both traditional Iznik tiles and 19th-century maiolica tiles, displaying the evolution of Ottoman decorative arts through centuries.
The mosque underwent restoration works in the 18th and 19th centuries and again in the 1960s to maintain its structural integrity.
The structure earned the name Kuşkonmaz Mosque because, according to local accounts, birds never land on its surfaces.
