Defterdar İbrahim Paşa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Ortaköy, Turkey.

The mosque stands on the European shore of the Bosphorus, featuring a central dome, traditional minaret, and early-nineteenth-century waterfront architectural elements.

Constructed in 1661 during the Ottoman Empire period, the mosque was established as a place of worship within the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul.

The building incorporates traditional Ottoman architectural elements, including decorative tile work and calligraphy that reflect Islamic artistic practices.

Located at Muallim Naci Street, the mosque remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors throughout the week with specific peak times in the evening.

Instead of the traditional crescent, the mosque features an ink pot and pen symbol on its dome, representing the profession of its founder.
