Hacı Hesna Hatun Camii, Ottoman mosque in Sultantepe, Üsküdar district of Istanbul, Turkey

The Hacı Hesna Hatun Camii features a single minaret with one balcony and stands among residential buildings in the Sultantepe neighborhood.

Built between 1584 and 1585 by Arslan Ağa for his wife Hacı Hesna Hatun, who served as the wet nurse of Mihrimah Sultan.

The mosque demonstrates the Ottoman tradition of honoring family members through religious architectural patronage in the 16th century.

The mosque maintains regular prayer times and contains the tomb of its namesake Hacı Hesna Hatun positioned in front of the mihrab.

After a devastating fire in 1890, Sultan Abdülhamid II ordered its complete reconstruction in 1900, preserving its historical significance.
