Bereketzade Ali Efendi Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Beyoğlu, Turkey.

The Bereketzade Ali Efendi Mosque stands below the Galata Tower in Istanbul, featuring traditional Ottoman architectural elements and a wooden roof design.

Built in the 15th century after the conquest of Constantinople, this mosque represents the first Islamic place of worship constructed in the Galata district.

The mosque contains inscriptions detailing the presence of a hidden passage connecting the Galata Tower to its minaret and extending to the old port of Karaköy.

After being demolished in the mid-20th century, the mosque underwent complete reconstruction in the 1990s following approval from the Cultural Heritage Preservation Board.

The original fountain of the mosque complex was relocated to the wall remains of Galata Tower facing the Beyoğlu direction during urban renovations.
