Piri Mehmed Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Silivri, Turkey.

The mosque features a central dome measuring 11.90 meters in diameter, accompanied by five narthex domes and two additional side domes.

Built in 1530 under Grand Vizier Piri Mehmed Pasha, the mosque underwent substantial renovations in 1765, 1895, and most recently between 2013 and 2016.

The interior walls display traditional Ottoman artistry with hand-drawn figures and Arabic calligraphy, including the Ayat al-Kursi verse on the main dome.

The mosque complex contains an octagonal shadirvan water fountain in its courtyard and remains open for daily prayers following its 2016 restoration.

The adjacent graveyard holds the marble sarcophagus of both Piri Mehmed Pasha and his son Muhyiddin Mehmed Râşid Efendi.
