Built by Sultan Bayezid, the second largest mosque of the sultans was built in the city after the conquest of Istanbul. It is considered the oldest Sultani Mosque in Istanbul that has preserved its originality. According to the inscription, it was completed in five years between 1501-1506. Damaged by the earthquake in Istanbul in 1509, it was partially restored after the earthquake. It consists of a main dome with a diameter of 16.78 m, resting on four, supported by two half-domes in the north and south. There are twenty windows in the main dome and seven in each of the half-domes. The mosque has a square courtyard surrounded by 24 vaulted porticos. The courtyard floor is paved with marble and there is a fountain in the middle. There are large slabs of red porphyry among the marble balls in the courtyard.
