Sherefeli Mosque, 15th-century mosque in Edirne, Turkey.

The Sherefeli Mosque features four distinct minarets of varying heights and designs, with detailed stone carvings on their exterior surfaces.

Sultan Murad II commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1437 and 1447, during the early period of Ottoman architectural development.

The mosque displays Ottoman architectural elements through its central dome measuring 24.5 meters in diameter and geometric patterns in its decorative elements.

The mosque maintains regular prayer times five times daily and requires visitors to remove shoes and dress modestly before entering the prayer hall.

Three separate staircases within one minaret allow multiple muezzins to reach different balconies simultaneously without encountering each other.
