Muradiye Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Edirne, Turkey

The Muradiye Mosque features a T-shaped structure with a five-bay portico, two domed entrance halls, and a central prayer area beneath the main dome.

Sultan Murad II commissioned the construction of this religious complex between 1426 and 1436, initially planning it as quarters for Mevlevi dervish members.

The prayer hall contains blue-and-white hexagonal tiles arranged in eight rows along three walls, representing early Ottoman ceramic craftsmanship techniques.

Visitors can reach the mosque by walking northeast from Selimiye Mosque along Mimar Sinan street, with the structure positioned on an elevated location.

The mihrab displays intricate 15th-century Iznik ceramic tiles incorporating Quranic inscriptions and floral patterns, demonstrating the period's artistic excellence.
