Sokollu Mehmed Pasha I Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey
The hexagonal prayer hall features a central dome measuring 13 meters in diameter and rises 22.8 meters above the ground level.
Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha and his wife Ismihan Sultan commissioned architect Mimar Sinan to build this mosque, completed in 1571.
The mosque walls display detailed Iznik tiles with floral patterns in blue, red, and green colors, complemented by white thuluth calligraphy.
The mosque complex includes a courtyard with an ablution fountain supported by twelve columns and spaces that now function as a Quran school.
Four fragments claimed to be from the Hajar al-Aswad of Mecca are embedded in different sections of the mosque structure.
