Şehidiye Mosque
Şehidiye Camii
A 14th-century Artuqid mosque with a slender, carved minaret beside the main street, one of the most photogenic minarets in the old town.
The Şehidiye Mosque and its madrasa were built during the Artuqid period in the 14th century. The minaret, rebuilt in the 19th century, is slender and tall, its shaft covered in stone carvings. It stands beside First Avenue and is a classic foreground for photos of the old town's streetscape. The mosque courtyard is small and quiet, and the interior can be visited outside prayer times; women should cover their hair. It sits on the main street in the eastern part of the old town, and can be visited on the way to the Sabancı City Museum.
