The Murat Paşa Mosque (Turkish: Murat Paşa Camii) is an Ottoman mosque at Aksaray in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey.
Architecture
It was commissioned by Has Murat Paşa. The mosque is designed in the Bursa style with the main space covered by a number of identical domes. This is an early Ottoman style which was soon abandoned in favour of the single large dome with smaller extensions. In this case, the main space is a 2x1 rectangle and is covered with two identical domes, each 21m high and 10.5m in diameter. The mihrab and minbar are on the short side.
