Nallı Masjid, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey.

The Nallı Masjid features a square plan of 8.50 meters on each side, topped by a single dome supported by an octagonal base structure.

Built in 1463 after Constantinople's conquest, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1771 by architect Mehmet Tahir following destruction from the 1766 earthquake.

The columns within the mosque structure originate from a previous Byzantine church, the Church of Holy Apostles, which once occupied this location.

Located northwest of the historic Sublime Porte building on Ankara Street, the mosque remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors without entrance fees.

The mosque's name 'Nallı,' meaning horseshoe in Turkish, comes from the decorative horseshoe reliefs carved into its ashlar minaret.
