Şehzade Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih, Turkey.

The Sehzade Mosque features a central dome measuring 19 meters in diameter, supported by four semi-domes and multiple windows that illuminate the interior space.

Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent commissioned this mosque in 1548 as a memorial to honor his son Sehzade Mehmed, who died at a young age.

The mosque serves as an educational center with its medrese, where students study Islamic teachings and participate in religious discussions.

The mosque complex contains a courtyard with ablution fountains, restrooms, and separate prayer sections for men and women.

The architect Mimar Sinan referred to this structure as his apprentice work, yet its design influenced numerous subsequent Ottoman mosques throughout the empire.
