Burmalı Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey

The Burmalı Mosque features a rectangular prayer hall with a pitched roof supported by four Byzantine Corinthian stone columns at its entrance.

The mosque was constructed in 1550 under the direction of Emin Nuretti Efendi, who held the position of qadi 'asker in Egypt.

The mosque incorporates both Islamic and Byzantine architectural elements, representing the cultural fusion of Istanbul during the Ottoman period.

The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and requires visitors to remove shoes and dress appropriately before entering the prayer hall.

The minaret of the mosque displays an extraordinary spiral brick design, making it the only example of this style among Istanbul's mosques.
