Kırmızı Beyoğlu Mosque

The Kırmızı Beyoğlu Mosque features a central dome supported by semi-domes, with detailed tile work and traditional Islamic geometric patterns throughout its interior.

Built in 1591 during the Ottoman Empire, this religious structure emerged as part of the extensive mosque construction period that characterized Istanbul's architectural development.

The mosque maintains its role as an active prayer space while integrating Ottoman architectural elements, including the characteristic red minaret that gives it its name.

Located near major transportation routes in Beyoğlu district, the mosque opens its doors for daily prayers and welcomes visitors outside of worship times.

The red brick construction materials used in this mosque set it apart from other religious buildings in Istanbul, creating a distinct visual element in the cityscape.
