Sokollu Mehmed Pasha IV Mosque

The mosque exhibits classical Ottoman architecture with a central dome, intricate tile work, and marble elements following Mimar Sinan's design principles.

Constructed in 1569 under the guidance of Mimar Sinan, the chief architect of the Ottoman Empire, during the reign of Sultan Selim II.

The mosque functions as a religious center where worshippers gather five times daily for prayers while maintaining Ottoman architectural traditions.

The building remains open to visitors throughout the day, offering direct access to both the prayer hall and courtyard for architectural observation.

The structure demonstrates Mimar Sinan's engineering skills through its innovative use of slopes and multiple entry points adapted to local terrain.
