Manastır Mosque, Byzantine mosque in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey
The Manastır Mosque features three projecting apses on its eastern side, a rectangular layout, and a narthex at the western section of the building.
Originally constructed as an Eastern Orthodox church, the structure was converted into a mosque during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II in the late 15th century.
The building exhibits architectural elements from both Byzantine church design and Islamic religious adaptations, including modifications to create a mihrab for prayers.
The mosque stands near Turgut Özal Millet Caddesi, approximately six hundred meters southeast of the Topkapı Gate, and is accessible via the T1 Tram line.
Excavations in the 1960s revealed foundations indicating the original structure had three naves, possibly topped by a dome, with an open portico around its perimeter.
