Sokullu Mehmet Pasha Mosque-Azapkapi
1573-1578
Architect Mimar Sinan
This mosque is an interpretation of the octagonal plan of the Selimiye in Edirne, with semidomes or trompes added to each angle of the octagon. The latecomers' porch is walled in, while the mosque rises above a basement which serves as a warehouse, as in the case of the Rüstem Pasha Mosque. .
