Eyup Sultan Mosque

Istanbul’s Eyup Sultan Mosque, constructed in 1458 just five years after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, stands on the Golden Horn, outside the historical Walls of Constantinople. Rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries, this mosque was a significant site for the coronation of Ottoman princes during the early era of the empire. Visitors today can explore its historical and architectural significance, set against the backdrop of the city’s rich heritage.
