Featured Highlights
The mosque is a building with masonry walls, a wooden roof and a brick minaret. There are small inscriptions on the base and cube section of the minaret.
The mosque is entered through the low arched door on the street with the inscription "Salamun alaikum" (Peace be upon you). After passing through this door, there is a staircase leading to the courtyard. To the right of the courtyard is the shrine’s door.
The basement is made of cut stone and receives light through three arched windows overlooking the street. There are four graves in the basement, the identities of which are unknown; only one stone bears the inscription "Mehmed bin Abdullah, 1097".
There is a stalactite cove on the right corner of the mosque. Across to it there was the Yavedüd Police Station building before the Golden Horn Bridge was built.
“Ya Vedüd” is one of the names of God in Islamic tradition, meaning “O the Most Beloved”.
