The Fatih Mosque (Turkish: Fatih Camii, "Conqueror's Mosque" in English) is an Ottoman mosque in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. The original mosque on the site was constructed between 1463 and 1470 on the site of the Church of the Holy Apostles. It was seriously damaged in the 1766 earthquake and was rebuilt in 1771 to a different design. It is one of the largest examples of Ottoman-Islamic architecture in Istanbul and represents an important stage in the development of classic Ottoman architecture. It is named after Ottoman sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, known in Turkish as Fatih Sultan Mehmed, the Ottoman sultan who conquered Constantinople in 1453. FATİH SOCIAL COMPLEX The complex commissioned by Mehmed II, was built by Architect Atik Sinan between the years 1463-1470. The complex is the largest building complex built in Turkish-Islamic architecture until then. It consists of madrasas, a library, sifahane (medical clinic), almshouse, caravanserai, shops, a bath and tombs annexed later on around the mosque. The original mosque of the complex has not survived, and the Fatih Mosque which is present in the complex today was built in late 18" century. The new Fatih Mosque, which was rebuilt in 1767 by Sultan Mustafa IIl and completely different from the previous one, was built by the architect Mehmed Tahir Aga. Fatih Mosque is designed in classical mosque architecture, yet the decorations display influences from baroque style. Its large dome, with a diameter of 26 meters seated on four large marble columns, is supported by four half domes. It has two minarets with two balconies. Inside the mosque, hand carved decoration also reflects baroque influence. The other important aspect of the complex is the madrasas. Madrasas are located at two sides of the mosque. Over time, some of the madrasas, which had undergone various repairs, were destroyed during road construction and eight of the madrasas survived. An adjacent library building in the qibla direction of the mosque was built in 1742. This library has a dome and two gates, one opening to outside, and the other opening into the mosque. But today, books originally from this library are kept in the Süleymaniye Library.

Imposing building. Much more attractive looking than some other mosques that attract tourists/visitors. It is located in an area that gives you a real feel of traditional Istanbul life. Prayers time can be busy. Please visit bearing in mind that it is a place of worship.

Here lies the body of Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih. He is the one who promised by the prophet (PBUH), that he will conquer Constantinople. He is said the best leader, his army is the best army and his people the best one. Crowned first time at 16th of his age, then give the crown back to his father. Later, being crowned again at 19, and in 21st of his age leading his army to conquer Constantinople and succeeded, after more than thousand years the city has never been surrendered or even penetrated by any army before. He is said very pious, god fearing, and longing for his prophet. Never miss his after-midnight prayer since his puberty.. may Allah bless him… Al-Faatihah..

Love this masjid and love the spiritual vibes and frequency! Even the dogs and cats are peaceful. A wonderful place to meet friends and enjoy Turkish tea and kunafe purchased from one of the shops in the old, cobblestone neighborhood just a few feet away.

Really beautiful mosque, amazing architecture and design, and has the tomb of Mehmed the conqueror alongside other figures, really worth a visit and one of the must-to-go places of Istanbul.

Beautiful masjid built between 1462-1470 by the famous architecture Sinan.

It was founded by the Turkic astronomer Ali Qushji who had been invited by Mehmed to his court in Istanbul. The mosque complex was completely restored in 2009 and again ten years later. It reopened to worshippers in 2021.

I know that many people have talked about this famous Masjid, but no one will give it what it deserves because it’s a unique Masjid with the high place it has as the name it carries and its location and the services that it serves to help the whole community

Fatih Mosque, which was built by Fatih Sultan Mehmet on one of the hills of Istanbul, Fatih Mosque is an important symbol of the life culture of the Ottoman culture, called the Kulliye, like the Süleymaniye Mosque. The Ottomans built such large mosques not only as places of worship, but also as schools of the period, madrasas, soup kitchens where food was distributed for the poor, libraries and baths. Fatih Mosque is a very important and valuable work of art belonging to the Ottoman period. And also the tomb of Mehmet the Conqueror is located in the Fatih Mosque. If you are visiting Fatih Mosque i will suggest you to visit One of the oldest bazaars of Istanbul call Malta Bazaar ( during the reign of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, immigrants from the island of Malta were settled here, and the name of the bazaar comes from here.) It is a place for food shopping. It is full of fishermen, liver, poultry, butchers, greengrocers, bakeries and delicatessens. It is possible to buy fresh yoghurt, eggs, honey or butter from different regions, bakers make bread 24 hours a day, spice shops are frequented by customers who are interested in medicinal plants. Prices are very cheap and the quality of products are perfect 👌 You must visit the Şekerci Han that goes all the way here.

Fatih Camisi (Conquerer's Mosque) is one of the biggest mosques of İstanbul and is included in the İstanbul's must see places list. It was built in the years 1463-1470, after Fatih conquered Constantinople, destroyed during the big earthquake of 1766 and rebuilt in 1771. It is beautiful, both externally and internally. Fatih the Conqueror is also buried next to the mosque.

An beautiful mosque at the heart of Fatih. It opens up the the street markets and shops and different sides and is the heart of the area. The facilities are clean as well and maintained, lots.of friendly cars, and a peaceful place to pray in. It looks and feels like a sized down version of the blue sultan mosque even down to the carpet and light fixtures.

This mosque was even better than I expected, The courtyard is huge! It is was nice to visit the grave of Mehmet the conqueror and pray for him. The mosque itself was clean and beautiful inside with Quran being recited a lot in between prayers.

An enormous complex southwest of the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul. Huge crowds are drawn to the large courtyards during daily prayers. Highly recommended to see a marvelous example of a restored Ottoman masterpiece

Great mosque, peaceful and calming. You have to visit it for sure From inside out you will see the greatness of the Islamic architecture and decoration.

I love this mosque. Something about it makes me feel at home. Praying here is so peaceful. Sitting in the square, enjoying the beautiful summer breeze at night, and watching other children play and fight with one another. Such a beautiful place. Truly. Please be respectful of the dress code. Do not dishonour the sacred spirituality of the mosque.

Fatih mosque with ottoman architectural design built in seventeen century is magnificent. The inside decoration is very nice and artistic. The dome is very high with two minarets . U need to put a veil to visit it make sure to bring one and take of your shoes .

Sunday morning in Fatih Fatih, historically Constantinople, is the capital district of and a municipality in Istanbul, Turkey, and home to almost all of the provincial authorities but not the courthouse. It encompasses the peninsula coinciding with old Constantinople.

Amazing mosque built with islamic art glory. You feel the history, peaceful and spiritual 🙏 ✨️ 🙌 😌.

It's a huge mosque complex was commissioned by Mehmed II. It was built by architects Atik Sinan between 1463-1470. However, the current design is completely different and we built by Mehmed Tahir Aga in 1767. It's large dome, 26m dia, is supported by 4 marbel column. The floor carpets are huge in size.

Very peaceful and historical places. Also great place to spend time with family/kids

En güzel mimariye sahip camilerden biri. İçi, dışı farketmeksizin her köşesinden güzellik akıyor. Yazı makinesi Ahmet Mithat Efendi'nin kabri de burada. Ayrıca müslüman genç kesimin instagram story bitki örtüsünü bu caminin görüntüleri oluşturuyor.

Great place to visit and take pictures for memory. The place has great value.

I loved the square in front of the mosque with all the benches,, just to relax and enjoy the exeptional architecture of the great mosque Fatih.

One of the most beautiful mosques in Istanbul, in the name of the Sultan who opened the city, the mosque is also the resting place of the sultan. Must visit!

To me the most spiritual & blessed place in Fatih Istanbul. This mosque is named by the great Conqueror of Istanbul Sultan Mehmet bin Fatih.
