Beylerbeyi Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Beylerbeyi, Turkey.

The Beylerbeyi Mosque features two symmetrical minarets and a central dome, with its main facade oriented toward the Bosphorus Strait waters.

The mosque underwent substantial modifications between 1820 and 1821 under Sultan Mahmud II, replacing the original wooden dome with a stone structure.

The interior decoration combines local and imported tiles with painted elements, representing the artistic influences of the late Ottoman period.

The religious complex includes additional facilities such as a bathhouse, primary school, and fountains that serve the local community.

The mosque stands on the former site of Istavroz Palace, with part of the structure dedicated to Abdülhamid I's mother, Rabia Kadın.
