Yenikapı Mevlevihanesi, Sufi lodge in Zeytinburnu, Turkey
The Yenikapı Mevlevihanesi stands as a large complex with prayer halls, living quarters, and dedicated spaces for Sufi whirling ceremonies.
Built in 1597 by Malkoç Mehmet Efendi, this lodge served as the second Mevlevi center in Istanbul after the Galata Mevlevihanesi.
The lodge produced notable Turkish classical musicians, including composer Ismail Dede Efendi and poet Şeyh Galip, who created their works within its walls.
The building now functions as an institute of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Foundation University, offering graduate studies and hosting traditional ceremonies.
During the Balkan Wars and Gallipoli Campaign, the lodge transformed into a hospital where Turkish soldiers received medical treatment.
