Şehzade Cihangir Mosque, Congregational mosque in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Şehzade Cihangir Mosque features a large central dome surrounded by smaller domes, with marble columns supporting its symmetrical structure on a hilltop location.
Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent commissioned the mosque in 1543 to honor his son Cihangir, with construction completed in 1548 under architect Mimar Sinan's direction.
The mosque walls display traditional Ottoman calligraphy and decorative tiles, representing the refined artistic expression of sixteenth-century Islamic architecture.
Visitors can access the mosque outside prayer times through the main entrance, while a separate space accommodates religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
The mosque complex includes a mausoleum containing Prince Cihangir's tomb, combining religious function with memorial significance in Ottoman architectural tradition.
