Ömer Şeddat Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Sur district, Turkey.

The structure features classical Islamic architecture with a central oval space and two hemispherical domes on the sides of the rectangular building.

The mosque was constructed between 1141 and 1156 under the reign of Nisanoğlu Mueyyideddin Ebu Ali Hasan bin Ahmet near the Mardin Gate.

The mosque maintains its position as a central gathering point for Islamic prayers and community events in the ancient district of Sur.

The building opens daily for five prayer times and welcomes visitors outside prayer hours, with requirements to remove shoes and dress appropriately.

The mosque's unusual architectural layout stems from its position against the city walls, resulting in an asymmetrical design that differs from standard mosque patterns.
