Selman Ağa Mosque

Selman Ağa Mosque, a historic mosque from the Ottoman Period located in the Mimar Sinan Neighborhood of the Üsküdar district of Istanbul. It was commissioned by Selman Ağa, who was the gatekeeper of Sultan Bayezid II and the chief of the Imperial Guard. Construction of the mosque began in 1506 and it was opened for worship in the same year. Architecturally, the mosque reflects Ottoman influences.

The walls of the building are made of stone and brick. The roof, pulpit, and the last prayer area are wooden. Two windows are opened on the qibla side and on the right, and three on the left. The building has no architectural value. However, the brick minaret on its right is old. There is a three-faced fountain at the outer corner of the building. Tiles can be seen on the upper edges of the fountain.

The mosque was commissioned by Abdullah son of Selman Ağa. He completed the mosque in November 1506. Next to the mosque is Selman Ağa's tomb. According to the tombstone, Selman Ağa was executed in 1508 by the decree of Bayezid II. Later a philanthropist had the mosque repaired.
