Atik Valide Mosque, Ottoman congregational mosque in Üsküdar, Turkey
The mosque features a central dome supported by four half domes, with two minarets and a rectangular courtyard containing a fountain for ablutions.
Mimar Sinan completed this religious complex in 1586 under the commission of Sultan Murad III to honor his mother, Nurbanu Sultan.
The structure includes a madrasah within its complex, demonstrating the Ottoman practice of combining religious worship with educational facilities.
The mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and requires visitors to remove shoes and dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees before entering.
The interior walls display geometric patterns created with tiles from Iznik, while granite and marble elements enhance the structural durability.
