Ferruh Kethüda Camii, Ottoman mosque in Balat district, Istanbul, Turkey
The Ferruh Kethüda Camii features one minaret and incorporates tiles from the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus in its mihrab, added during the early 18th century.
Constructed between 1562 and 1563 by Ferruh Aga, steward of Grand Vizier Semih Ali Pasha, this mosque underwent substantial restoration from 1953 to 1960.
The mosque originally functioned as a tevhidhane for a dervish lodge, serving multiple religious and social purposes within the Ottoman community.
Located at coordinates 41.034517 latitude and 28.945649 longitude in Ayvansaray, the mosque remains open for regular prayer services and visitors.
The upper section of the minaret received modifications in the late 18th century, likely following the earthquake of 1766.
