The İskender Pasha Mosque stands next to the Kanlıca Pier, featuring a masonry structure with a single minaret and traditional Ottoman architectural elements.
Built in 1559 by architect Mimar Sinan under the commission of military judge Kazasker Gazi İskender Pasha during the Ottoman Empire's golden age.
