Aşık Paşa Mosque

It was rebuilt by Tavaşi Hüseyin Ağa towards the end of the 15th century.
It took its current form after the fire of 1782 and the major repairs that followed.
It was severely damaged in the Cibali Fire of 1918.
Various restorations were carried out in the 1970s and later periods.

It is also known as Hüseyin Ağa Mosque.
There are two decorated windows on the qibla wall with the inscriptions “Ism-i Celal” (Name of God), and “Ism-i Nebi” (Name of the Prophet).
It is a simple building with a square plan, covered with a single dome, and the dome is located in the tomb building with a cut stone facade.
There is nothing left inside from its original construction.
On the site of the ruins of a Byzantine church, on a hillside overlooking the Golden Horn, it is likely that a shrine and a dervish lodge were built in the name of Sarı Saltuk Baba. Next to the mosque and dervish lodge is a tomb believed to belong to Âşıkpaşazâde. The lodge was destroyed in the 1918 Cibali fire that devastated the area and was never rebuilt.
The fountain in front of the mosque was built by Sheikh Ahmed Efendi from the Aşık Pasha family in 1564-65 and is considered one of the oldest fountains in Istanbul.
