Eyüpsultan, Religious district in Istanbul, Turkey
Eyüpsultan stretches from the Golden Horn to the Black Sea coast, covering 228 square kilometers of Istanbul's European side with residential areas and green spaces.
The district, formerly known as Kosmidion during Byzantine times, transformed after 1453 when Sultan Mehmed II constructed the Eyüp Sultan Mosque near Abu Ayyub al-Ansari's tomb.
The Eyüp Sultan Mosque complex serves as a primary destination for Muslim pilgrims, featuring traditional markets that sell religious items and prayer materials.
Multiple transportation options connect the district to central Istanbul, including metro lines, buses, and a cable car system to reach Pierre Loti Hill.
The Mihrişah Sultan Complex, built in 1796, contains Ottoman architectural elements including a mosque, mausoleum, and fountains that remain intact today.
