The building was commissioned in 1571 by Fatma Sultan, a daughter of Selim I and the wife of Grand Vizier Kara Ahmed Pasha. She is buried beside her husband in the tomb within the Gazi Ahmed Pasha Mosque complex on Topkapı Square.
After falling out of use through neglect over time, the mosque was rebuilt in 1971 on its four surviving walls and reopened for worship.
