The mosque is a former historical church, built in the shape of a cross between the years 610 and 850. The building is dedicated to Saint Theodore. Before it became a mosque, it was a place where the Greeks who lived in Trilly worshiped as Hagios Stefanos Church. Al-Fatih Mosque is one of the rare examples of Byzantine architecture that has survived to this day without damaging its structure. It was converted into a mosque during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent in 1560, but an attempt was made to preserve the overall structure of the church.
