Şeyh Süleyman Mosque, Byzantine mosque in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The mosque features a square structure with a low octagonal dome, supported by pendentives and includes four niches positioned in its corners.
The building, constructed between 1118 and 1124 under Byzantine Empress Irene Komnene, transformed into a mosque after Constantinople's conquest in 1453.
The structure demonstrates the transformation of Byzantine religious buildings into Islamic places of worship during the Ottoman period in Constantinople.
The mosque stands on Zeyrek Sokak, 120 meters southwest of Zeyrek Mosque, with an underground burial crypt containing eight niches beneath.
The exterior walls combine two construction materials: lower sections built with ashlar stone and upper portions made from bricks.
