Molla Çelebi Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Beyoğlu, Turkey.
The mosque features a hexagonal central prayer hall measuring 19 by 16 meters, with a main dome of 12 meters in diameter.
Built in 1584 under the supervision of architect Mimar Sinan, the mosque was commissioned by Chief Judge of Istanbul Kazasker Mehmet Vusuli Efendi.
The interior displays traditional Ottoman architecture with kalem işi decorations, polychrome wall paintings, and intricate patterns on the minbar and mihrab.
Located near the Kabataş ferry port on the Bosphorus waterfront, the mosque remains open for daily prayers except during designated prayer times.
The mosque incorporates four small semi-domes positioned in east-west direction, with pillars embedded within the walls rather than standing independently.
