Şepsefa Hatun Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih, Turkey.
The Şepsefa Hatun Mosque features a central dome supported by four smaller domes, displaying Ottoman and Baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built between 1463 and 1470 on the former site of the Church of Holy Apostles, the mosque underwent complete reconstruction in 1771 after an earthquake.
The mosque complex incorporated educational facilities, including the Sahn-ı Seman Medrese, where students studied theology and scientific subjects under renowned scholars.
Visitors should note that the mosque remains closed during prayer times, with separate entrances and prayer areas designated for men and women.
The surrounding cemetery contains the tombs of important Ottoman figures, while the adjacent area transforms into Istanbul's largest street market every Wednesday.
