Salacak Fatih Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Salacak, Turkey.

The Salacak Fatih Mosque features traditional Ottoman architectural elements, including a prominent minaret and a central prayer hall near the Bosphorus Strait.

Sultan Mehmed II commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1453 to honor Islamic scholar Akşemseddin and later underwent restoration in 1753.

The mosque maintains its role as a spiritual center where Muslim residents gather for daily prayers and religious celebrations throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 41.020978 latitude and 29.007969 longitude, the mosque provides prayer spaces in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul.

The building underwent significant modifications in 1898, resulting in its current appearance while preserving elements from the original Ottoman design.
