Pertev Paşa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in İzmit, Turkey.

The mosque presents a central dome supported by four corner domes, with two tall minarets flanking the main entrance of the building.

Mimar Sinan completed the construction of this religious edifice in 1579 during the reign of Sultan Selim II of the Ottoman Empire.

The interior walls display traditional Iznik tiles with geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy, representing Ottoman artistic traditions of the 16th century.

The mosque contains separate prayer sections for men and women, with ablution facilities located in the courtyard for ritual cleansing.

The structural design incorporates advanced engineering techniques that allow natural light to illuminate the prayer hall through windows beneath the dome.
