Fatih Mosque, Trabzon, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey

The Fatih Mosque features a central dome spanning 26 meters supported by four marble columns and displays influences from Byzantine church architecture.

Built between 1463 and 1470 under Sultan Mehmed II, the original structure was destroyed by an earthquake in 1766 and reconstructed between 1767 and 1771.

The mosque complex functioned as an educational center with eight medreses where students studied theology, law, and scientific disciplines.

The structure operates daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, except during prayer times, with increased visitor numbers during Friday noon prayers.

The graveyard contains the tomb of Sultan Mehmed II and state officials, making it a location for official ceremonies throughout the year.
