Bayezid II Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih, Turkey

The Bayezid II Mosque features a central dome reaching 44 meters in height, supported by four massive pillars and complemented by two minarets.

Construction of the mosque took place between 1501 and 1506 under Sultan Bayezid II, with architect Mimar Hayruddin implementing Ottoman architectural principles.

The mosque complex includes a library, university buildings, and public kitchens that served as educational and social centers during the Ottoman period.

Located near multiple public transportation stops in central Istanbul, the mosque opens daily for prayers and welcomes visitors outside prayer times.

The courtyard contains twenty columns made of red and white granite supporting twenty-five semi-domes, creating a symmetrical pattern around a central fountain.
