The Şahabettin İmaret Mosque stands in the south of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on the bank of the Maritsa River. Built in the mid-fifteenth century in the Ottoman architectural tradition, it takes its name from the man who commissioned it. In Bulgarian it is known as Shahbedinova Imaret Dzhamiya. A courtyard was later added around the building, giving it the role of an imaret complex. A tomb is located in the cemetery section of the mosque grounds. The mosque's address is ul. Visla 2.
History

The mosque was built in 1444–1445 during the reign of Murad II by Şahabettin Pasha, son of Lala Şahin Pasha, the beylerbey of Rumelia.
Under Bayezid II a courtyard was built around the structure, converting it into an imaret with a public kitchen. It served as a place of worship for Muslim travellers and remained open for worship until the end of the nineteenth century.
According to tradition, the tomb in the cemetery section holds Lala Şahin Pasha; another account holds that it is the resting place of Şahabettin Pasha.
