İskender Pasha Mosque, Fatih, Ottoman mosque in Fatih district, Turkey

The İskender Pasha Mosque features a square plan measuring 10.90 meters on each side, with one main dome and three side domes in stone construction.

İskender Pasha, who served as vizier during Sultan Bayezid II's reign, commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1505 from dimension stone materials.

The mosque became a central location for the Naqshbandi Order activities during the 20th century under the leadership of Sheikh Mehmet Zahit Kotku.

The mosque underwent major renovations in 1756, 1887, 1945, and 1956, with a two-story annex added in 1989 to expand the prayer room capacity.

The structure features hand-carved window decorations in white and blue colors, with a minaret displaying a distinctive red-colored stone belt on its spire.
