Nallı Masjid, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey.
Nallı Masjid is a place of worship with a square floor plan measuring 8.5 meters on each side, topped by a single dome that rests on an octagonal base. The structure is built with cut stone and features a decorated minaret.
It was built in 1463 after Constantinople's conquest and later rebuilt in 1771 by architect Mehmet Tahir following an earthquake that struck in 1766. The reconstruction preserved its basic form to this day.
The columns inside come from an earlier Byzantine church that once stood on this same location. These reused elements shape how the interior looks and feels today.
The mosque sits northwest of the historic Sublime Porte building on Ankara Street and is easy to reach on foot. It remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors at no cost.
The building's name comes from decorative horseshoe reliefs carved into its stone minaret, giving the site its distinctive title. The word 'Nallı' means horseshoe in Turkish.
