Silahi Mehmed Bey Mosque or Selahi Mehmed Bey Mosque is located on Zalpaşa Street in Eyüpsultan and opposite Zal Mahmud Pasha Mosque. The deceased Silahşor Mehmet Bey is buried next to the mosque. The Bey Mosque is also known as Sürahi Prayer Room, Silahşor Mehmet Bey Prayer Room. The Zal Mahmut Pasha Mosque located right next to it was built in 1551. There is no neighborhood named after it. There is a neighborhood named after Selahi Mehmet Bey. For this reason, the mosque whose exact construction date is unknown is dated to 1453-1465 in some sources such as "Sicil-i Osmani". It is a mixed structure built of cut stone and brick. It draws attention with its pavilion-type minaret, examples of which are more commonly encountered in Gaziantep and Kahramanmaraş.
