Firuz Ağa Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Fatih, Turkey.
Firuz Ağa Mosque is a prayer house in the Fatih district with a square base, a central dome, and a simple stone minaret. The structure sits at the corner of Divanyolu Street and features traditional elements that create a quiet interior with inscribed walls.
The mosque was built in 1491 under Sultan Beyazit II, commissioned by a wealthy state official. This period marked a phase of active mosque construction throughout Istanbul under the sultan's patronage.
The mosque bears the name of its founder, a high-ranking official whose tomb rests within the complex. Visitors can see how this place reflects the connection between personal devotion and public duty in Ottoman society.
The prayer house is located near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia with regular prayer times throughout the day. Visitors outside prayer times should wear headscarves and modest clothing, entering the space respectfully.
The interior carries geometric patterns and scripts on its walls as part of a rich decorative system. These details show how craftsmanship and religious texts come together in a single space.
