Fatih Istanbul Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey.

The Fatih Mosque features a central dome measuring 26 meters in diameter supported by four semi-domes and large marble columns.

The mosque, built between 1463 and 1470 on the site of the Church of Holy Apostles, underwent complete reconstruction in 1771 after an earthquake.

The surrounding cemetery contains the tombs of Sultan Mehmed II and his consort Gülbahar Hatun, making it a significant memorial site.

The mosque remains open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM except during prayer times, with the largest street market occurring every Wednesday.

The original mosque complex included educational facilities, specializing in theology, law, astronomy, and mathematics under the direction of astronomer Ali Qushji.
